Unofficial WMF Patch

CNET News, in one of its latest stories, interviews Ilfak Guilfanov about his patch for a screwup in Microsoft’s security. Knowing Microsoft, THEIR patch will probably only be available to people who have registered Windows or some such bull. Thank goodness for third parties.

Using Akismet now…

Alright people! I’m using the Akismet spam filter now. Because of this, I’m willing to let the blog be slightly more open in regards to comments.

People who have posted on my blog will still be required to put in their name and e-mail, but they can add as many comments as they want.

People who have never posted on my blog still have to have their first comment approved, but after that they can comment away as many times as they want on any post. It’s just the very first comment ever that needs to be approved.

I don’t believe in censorship of opinion. You can write anything you want on my blog. The one thing that I don’t want, though, is for some service to think my website is spam. In light of that, if I see lots of references to drugs that assist procreation, or uses of cursewords (this is a semi-civil discussion area, ladies and gentlemen! feel free to flame others, though, even me!), I will have to edit ONLY THOSE WORDS out of your post. I may even hold your post and keep it from being published until I can edit those words out of it. If you post a comment, and don’t see it appear immediately, it’s because either somebody thought you were spam, you used wirty dords, or you haven’t posted your first post on my website yet.

If I do have to edit your post, you will see something like this in place of the word:
The “F” word: [moderator:procreate]
Procreation substances: [moderator:child assistance]

Also, I will e-mail you and tell you why your post didn’t appear immediately.

Understand? Enjoy :)
