For the past few weeks, I have allowed commenters to post using their TypeKey account. I didn't want to require commenters to register with TypeKey if they did not want to, so I still allowed comments from unregistered readers. TypeKey allows me to authorize comments much faster, as I do not need to worry about spam coming from registered commenters. I can also tell the publishing software to trust commenters if they have a TypeKey account. I get an email notification for every comment, and I must manual approve all non-TypeKey comments. That's why non-TypeKey comments may take longer to appear.
In the words of Ron White, I told you that story so that I could tell you this one. I won't be requiring users to register with TypeKey, but I will warn you that multiple non-TypeKey comments have been automatically sorted as spam by the filters that SEED has installed. In those instances I don't even get an email telling me that you submitted a comment. I occasionally look through the most recent spam comments for false positives and mark them as "not spam". So, if your comment does not appear, I either haven't approved it yet or it ended up in the spam folder. I highly recommend using TypeKey as it allows your comment to appear immediately (encouraging discussion) and prevents it from being incorrectly sorted as spam.
So that's what happened to my complaints about the ads! :)
