I’m moderating comments

I’ve resisted this for as long as I could, but now I surrender. I just turned on comment moderation.

Comment spam has simply become too much of a time suck, even with Akismet catching most of it. More and more has been sneaking through the filters, and it’s gotten to the point where finding and deleting the spam is taking more time than it will take to moderate all comments. So, if you don’t see your comment appear right away, that’s why.
