Sigh–I’ve turned off comments because spam comments have started pouring in.
It took me ages to delete 20 comments. Damn it, Manila design gurus! It needs to be easier to delete unwanted comments.
Furthermore, Manila design gurus–when somebody leaves more than one comment
a minute that person is probably not posting something the world wants to read.
Furthermore, Manila design gurus–I want the option to delete a (spam) comment up
at the top of the edit message page–not down at the bottom where I
have to scroll down past much less useful options to find it.
Furthermore, Manila design gurus–after I’ve deleted a comment left by sxssxsxs or ddffeddf
(two recent “members” here), I’d love the option to delete even more
comments left by the same member. I appreciate the merciful nature
shown by giving me the option to undelete a just-deleted comment, how
about adding the “delete all his comments” option for the bloodthirsty
among us? How about adding that option when I block or delete a member?
That said, I still love Manila but I think all blog-softwares will have
to evolve to survive the challenges of the spammers. Maybe a reasonable
economic model would be for blogwares to be free and new plug-ins as needed to
cost $5 or so to those who want them?
