Here is a screenshot of the comment form in Jeremy Zawodny’s blog
Zawodny is working at Yahoo. He is getting lots of comments in spite of this crappy comment processing cycle.
Here is what I was told after I posted a comment:
Thank you for commenting.
Your comment has been received and held for approval by the blog owner.
Return to the original entry
An approval from the commentator. Then an approval from the moderator. And don’t forget to solve the “Captcha” in the form.
Talk about the privilege of commenting.
Did you not get an email containing a link you could use to approve the comment yourself? You should have. If not, it’s a bug–nothing personal.
Yeah. I got the mail.
It’s certainly excessive. I kind of like the system I am using (hashcash-like) but of course, it doesn’t really prevent any targetted attack. It’s not invasive though.
Silky,
Hash cash? Good. You are welcome to use a little of my processing time. But don’t use my personal time, and make me fill loads of text fields.
