Overdue Housekeeping Notes

I’ve added some things to the site that should have gone in long ago:

• A brief Comments disclosure and policy you’ll see in the second-to-right column.
• Clear disclosure at each post that comments are moderated.
• More clearly flagging the direct e-mail addy at the very top.

I haven’t bothered to permanently disclose common-sense things like the following because, well, they’re common sense:

• If you feel that you need to know why your comment wasn’t posted, you need to give me a real e-mail addy to communicate to. Sometimes I choose to tell people why just because I’m trying to be courteous. If you don’t leave a valid addy, you’ll never know why your comment didn’t post unless I’m so irritated that I call you out in my own comment.
• Comments at Positivity posts are limited to the strictly positive.
• You use language harsher than PG-13 at this blog at the risk of your comment getting cleaned up by yours truly, or not being posted at all.

I’m getting inundated with more comment spam than I can tolerate. Because of that have decided to stop my blog’s internal e-mail notification when a comment appears. This means that my response to real comments will be slower, and that there is unfortunately a slightly higher chance that I will accidentally delete real comments. On the other hand, there’s a greater chance that I will retain what’s left of my sanity.

With the boring stuff out of the way, hopefully in a week (or two) I’ll have something legitimately newsworthy to report about what’s going on here.
