Apparently, comments containing really long URLs go into Moderation: it’s as if the program’s just too lazy to read it all and figures “Yeah, there must be something bad in there somewhere.”
Category / Site Information
The All-New Random Comments Page for the Summer of 2019
Please note that this is intended for public comics-related (or comics semi-related) comments only: if you want to send me a CIDU, or a comic for some specific folder (Ewww, Oy, etc), or you want to inform me of a typo, please e-mail me at CiduBill@gmx.com
Also: A list of the site’s most recent comments can be found in the left sidebar. A database of all the comments, compiled by larK, is here.
The All-Old Random Comments Page is here.
THIS PAGE IS NOW CLOSED FOR FURTHER COMMENTS. THE CURRENT PAGE IS HERE.
Whither the Random Comments Page
Everybody seems to have gone back to using the version linked to from the left sidebar — which makes sense, because it’s the only one anybody can find. And nobody (including me) likes the idea of linking to it from a post permanently on the front page.
So let’s just go back to using the old one.
There are drawbacks, among them comments not showing up on the Recent Comments list and the fact that there are already 46,000 comments there, but I’m just not going to have the time in the foreseeable future to find a workaround to WordPress’s refusal to let me change the links.
If indeed there is one.
Moderation
Just for the record, the Moderation Police made a lot of arrests today, not a single one of them valid.
All have been released.
The New Random Comments Page
It now exists, but I’m still trying to link to it from the sidebar. I swear, WordPress is making it more and more difficult to do anything not in their suggested template.
Guess who doesn’t learn from his mistakes
Remember last week when an update was really late because I was in Manhattan at midnight and my computer of course was in New Jersey?
Synchronicity
First of all, I want to stress this is a systemic issue, nothing to do with anybody in particular…
I’ve been getting a lot of Synchronicity submissions lately. A lot. And since they’re by far the most time-consuming submissions, I just can’t keep up and most of them sit unread for far too long, which isn’t fair to everybody sending them in.
So… I’m not going to ask people not to send them anymore, merely to confine them to the truly extraordinary: same-day similarities that defy logic.
It remains open season for everything else, and I thank you for all your support.
I bet Jimmy would NOT want me using this as the site’s logo…
Moving this back to the top because I just found a response from Jimmy Johnson his own self languishing in the Spam folder for a full week.
Comments going to Moderation for no good reason is common enough that I check the folder several times a day. I put on my Hazmat suit and venture into the Spam folder, well, once a week at most.
Not that this will surprise anybody…
… but less than ten minutes after the Crimeweek site went live last week, there were already two spam comments.
The spammers are good, gotta give them that: fortunately, the spam filter is better.
Please note: If you’re sending me Christmas-related comics…
CIDUs, LOLs, whatever… Please add “Christmas” to the e-mail’s subject line. I’m way behind on my e-mail and this is likely to get worse over the next couple of weeks, so the notation will assure that I see the Christmas-related stuff before it becomes outdated.
