The Amazing Comment-Eating Spam Filter

Posted By on Fri, May 18, 2007 at 4:02 PM

Hey, blog readers and comment-leavers: If you should make a comment and not see it show up right away, feel free to e-mail me (mailbag@tucsonweekly works!).

If it doesn't show up, it means one of two things:

1. You innocently did something (such as including more than a link or two) in your comment that slipped it into a moderation queue.

2. Our spam comment filter ate it. For some reason, after months of virtual perfection, the spam filter's started nabbing legitimate comments; I've fished 3-4 comments out of there within the last week.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for reading and commenting and being just all around spiffy.
