Hi all. I hope your week is off to a good start. Some of you tried to post today and may have gotten a message saying your comment had to first be approved by the moderator (me). Just to clarify, despite yesterday's heated political back and forth, I have NOT turned on comment moderation. I've tried to avoid doing that as a general matter and have done it only when I had a temporary troll infestation. The reason some people's comments were temporarily blocked today is I always have the moderation settings set to require approval on any comments on older posts, as trolls and commercial spammers often drop comments into older posts thinking that the moderator might not see and delete them. Google's settings for that function is pretty binary, defining older posts as 14 days or older. Given my recent hiatus, the most recent post was on November 30th, so today that post passed the 14 day mark. I have checked periodically throughout the day and am trying to approve comments expeditiously.
I may try to post something tomorrow or later this week, but probably not much beyond more holiday art. Sorry for the lack of anything truly new and DD related. Hoping to get back to real posting sometime soon.
Thank you for explaining that! I personally DETEST trolls and spammers!
