A little configuration error on my part resulted in numerous (actually, all) new comments for the last seven weeks being declared as spam and treated accordingly. Anything more than 14 days old is, like Bob Hope, gone forever.
After the problem was brought to my attention I sifted through the 1,884 comments that were pending deletion and discovered numerous legitimate ones which I restored to their dignified, non-spam, status. The remaining 1,855 of them were junk like “Nice site! Viagra” and “Hello there teen sex group melon berry asian hentai ballet hot love vendetta.” They remain in the spam cupboard.
Apologies to anyone whose comment didn’t survive. The configuration has been fixed and comments should appear automatically, unless they’re about replica watches, online pharmacies or having sex with farm animals.

I started Banterist in 2003 after this conversation with my cat. It led to all sorts of good things.
So, how do people who work at Viagra get emails to anyone?
Checking my genuine Simex watch, I see it is time to stop by the pharmacy and pick up my prescription for (new and improved!) Vitamin Z, after which I will for leering at the sexy squirrels scampering around in the trees.
Love your website!
Fuss at the dogs for their leering ways.
I was starting to think no one liked your site anymore.

If you ask me, society has grown too tolerant of spammers. These folks poke their nose into other peoples’ sites and force them to enact annoying comments policies in order to avoid even-more-annoying unsolicited (and usually revolting) ads. This is truly foul behavior. As Robert Heinlein said, some kinds of obnoxiousness should be capital offenses.
Which brings me meandering around to my point. It seems a lot of Republican foreign policy types will be looking for work in the next couple of months. You know, the shoot first, ask later crowd that likes to topple dictatorships and waterboard prisoners when somebody pisses them off. What better use than to turn them on the spammers? It might be the first enterprise involving domestic wiretapping to exceed 100% approval.
Unfortunately now you have many very odd remarks. Maybe you could get a comment filter that is somewhere between overzealous and nonexistent.
