Commenting on evolgen

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.
