Comments Are Excruciatingly Slow

It’s not you. They’ve added something or other to the commenting system to prevent spam. It will probably take an annoyingly long time for your comment to post.

I just had a spam comment on this post. The spam commenter commiserated with me over spam filters and how difficult they make it for commenters.

Even spam can be fun sometimes.

Really? I wonder if it's that way on my site, too.

Testing, testing, one, two, three... ;)

[rebecca]

So was it slow?

[rebecca]

Not anymore, I guess.

[Becky @ Daily On My Way to Heaven]

Not so slow...just a little slow :)

Yeah, i find that some blogs and forums add something to commenting system to prevent spam and no follow comment links.It lead to the comments are excruciatingly slow.That's so bad user experience.

So pellet mill's comment was spam, just manual rather than automatic spam. I removed the link but left the comment. Irony amuses me.

Haha, that's funny about the spam!
