Just a Theory http://www.justatheory.com Theory waxes practical.

I’ve just added a new feed: teasers only. It makes things a log shorter for those who just want to get a teaser for each blog entry, rather than complete entries, such as Planet Perl and Planet PostgreSQL.

Any questions or problems? Leave a comment. Thanks!

]]> New Just a Theory Blog Policy: Limited Comment Period http://www.justatheory.com/computers/internet/weblogs/new_comment_policy.html /computers/internet/weblogs David Wheeler 2007-07-21T22:12-08:00 I’ve had an open policy on comments on this blog since it started. A couple years ago, I added a timeout on trackback pings, so that you can’t trackback ping a posting more than two weeks after I wrote it. But I left manual comments in, along with the simple math bit, since comments and spam have been low volume.

Curiously, though, although this is not a popular blog, and I’ve posted to it all of twice in the last six months, I’ve been getting a lot more comment spam in the last few weeks. I’ve been having to manually delete upwards of 100 spam comments a day. Well, I’m bored with that. So I hereby announce a new comment policy: You can comment on a blog post for up to two weeks after I post it. After that, the comment period will be over. I’m sorry to have to do this, and maybe it will change if I ever switch to Word Press or something, but for now, I think it will do.

The vast majority of non-spam comments I get on any particular post after two weeks or so is a request for support. So I don’t think that the new policy will hamper anyone much, and for those looking for support, well, this is not the appropriate forum. But if you do feel compelled to comment on something after the comment period, just email your comment to me and I’ll add it in as I deem appropriate.

Thanks for understanding. I really appreciate getting this time back every day. And, of course, if you’d like to respond to this new policy in any way, well, you have two weeks to leave a comment on this post. ;-)
