I’m starting to (again) get spam through the filters. At the same time the people I want to comment had difficulties. So…

1. Jetpack comments are activated. This will allow you to log on using social media. UPDATE: Jetpack comments do not allow social media through as there is a problem with authentication tokens. I have reactivated disqus. You can log onto that reliably from FB and Twitter.
2. I’m reconnecting to project honeypot, and all comments will be filtered through that.
3. In addition, I have a standard set of variation of obcene words in place, so you you use them or have multiple links, your comment is not even in the trash bin. It is deleted automatically.
4. If you get through and you are linking to stuff I don’t like, I will ban your IP and email. without warning, Spammers will be swept away. However, if you troll, please use wit.
