SEO Ranking and recognition has its drawbacks. ^_^<\/h1>\n

We have been hit by the internet spam monster. Our comment sections are overflowing with advertisements and comments that are sent in by bots with the only goal being to create back-links for phishing\/scam or other spamtastic sites that wouldn’t exist in my perfect internet world. You won’t see them on the site because ALL COMMENTS are now moderated by an Admin. I guess I asked for it a little bit… Much like another sites I write for like Learn Differently<\/a>, Computer Gurus<\/a>, Redeemed-N-Delivered<\/a> and the Original BibleCounts<\/a>; The problem with this site was that I left the comments and registration open to ANYONE. The Hope<\/strong><\/em><\/span> was that I would get more honorable people posting, as opposed to SPAMMERS. (Yes, I AM in fact saying Spammers lack honor.)<\/p>\n

So once more I must change things up in order to combat SPAM. Articles and posts will still be open to everyone. The primary change is that comments may now only be permitted for registered users. This means that we have to approve registration AND the comment itself. Additionally we just added R-DNS and Email account verification to all Comment posts and Registration requests. Hopefully this improves the comment quality.  As we become more popular we will continue to modify the tech behind the site in order to keep the content and experience positive.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your time and readership.<\/p>\n

We pray God’s Love and Blessings to you and your families this Christmas season.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
