Site Announcement: Yes, We Mod The Comments (now partially automated)


For those who have been with us for some time, you are probably aware that the comment sections to our posts are not necessarily filled with insightful Taiko no Tatsujin discussions. Like we said last time, some of those are spam messages that try to get you to click links to whatever [kat] they are selling.

...okay, scratch that, a majority of them are spam messages. Thankfully the spammers probably are not going to read actual post contents so we can throw [ddkat kat ddkat kat ddkat] at them without worry.

With the proportion of spam escalating, we have decided to turn on comment moderation function on Blogger, especially on posts older than 3 days. If you don't see your comment immediately reflected, it would be because it is held awaiting moderation. We will check the holding pen from time to time to release legitimate comments to public view.

We'll see how it turns out for us, but we might further escalate to nuclear options if it doesn't work, which may or may not include completely axing the comment section here while crossposting on platforms that have better moderation tools (like Twitter or Reddit) for those who want to discuss.
