Since I can moderate comments now with MT 3.0 (and mt-blacklist is currently incompatible with it), I'm establishing the following ground rules for comments on C&S.

1. If you're a spammer, your comment will never see the light of day on my site, because I won't approve your spam to appear here. Nyah.

2. If you do comment, you cannot be anonymous. Either your e-mail address or your URL better be yours, or else your comment will not be approved. Don't worry, I'm not publishing e-mail addresses on here, and I'm only selling them to companies that advertise for valid sexual aids, Canadian pharmacies, and fly-by-night mortgage lenders.

3. At some point I'll turn on TypePad. I hate TypePad and think it will be a massive failure at blocking spam -- on top of being yet another database where your personal metrics can be stored for every hacker in the world to crack and steal. Oh, and I hate registering for 50,000 different sites just to read one thing. For now, though, I'm just checking my comment bucket every two hours and approving comments.

4. This isn't censorship. OK, it is. But it's my damn site, and I can do what the hell I want.

Capiche?
