Please bear with us [McGehee]

Apparently comments posted by non-admins are being held for moderation. This has happened before and I at least don’t have the access privileges to change it.

I can only release impounded comments as I find them, and I think the other guest bloggers here can as well — but we all have other things we need to do during our day, which means the moderation queue will undoubtedly refill at times.

So until this setting gets corrected PW’s comment ecosystem may be limping for a while. Sorry, y’all

Update: It now appears the moderation setting has been corrected. Oddly enough, it’s coincided with both the end of the pingback spamalanche and the return of Twerk Boy in another thread.

  1. I’m telling ya: the Ebola Virus has mutated and it’s hit PW.

    Everyone thinks I’m Chicken Little Bob, but I was right about Betamax.

  2. McGehee says:

    On the upside, the pingback spamalanche that commenced once the site came back, also got impounded.

  3. RI Red says:

    If a pikachu is crushed by a falling tree in an impounded forest, can anyone hear its cries for attention?

  4. Hadn’t noticed anything untoward, but I’m not a high-volume commenter.

  5. There’s a special place in Heaven fer ya, McGehee.

    Moderate me, bro, into the proper thread!

  8. McGehee says:

    I’m sorry, guinsPen, I’m afraid I can’t do that.

    </HAL 9000>

    Even on my own site the only way I could change which thread a comment was in was by hacking the database.

  9. guinspen says:

    Beware the up the kilt lookers.

    Although he did tie the knot…

    – When I get moderated will I dream?

  17. BigBangHunter says:

    – Oh, and I don’t know how to break this to you gently Bob, but everybody was right about Betamax.

  18. Darleen says:

    Just took a look at the comment settings … whatever tossed everything into moderation, it may be the Akismet spam thingy since it looks like PW got hit (and is still getting hit) with a ton of spam when it came back online.

    fter the ting. madillo Corey Hai ! loon fence , but ehee?

  20. bgbear says:

    I feel like a moderated Muslim.

  21. McGehee says:

    I can’t say I agree with “moderation in all things”…

  22. BigBangHunter says:

    – I thought there was no such thing as a moderated Muslim.

  23. Silver Whistle says:

    I feel like a moderated Muslim.

    Best go out and get one, then.

  24. bgbear says:

    I bet happyfeet is making all sorts of witty and insightful comments that promote topical conversations and you guys are not de-moderating him.

    Ahhh! Betamax and 8 track tapes …….. good times ……… good times …..

    Concensus based reality goes out the window when the guy with the bleeding eyeballs comes in through the front door U.S. customs and on through the E.R fron door. twice

    The overriding impression is of disarray, confusion, bad management, failed communication, anomie, disillusion, corruption, and secrecy. But do not worry. Things are under control.
    [….]
    Over the last few years the divergence between what the government promises and what it delivers, between what it says is happening or will happen and what actually is happening and does happen, between what it determines to be important and what the public wishes to be important—this gap has become abysmal, unavoidable, inescapable.
    [….]
    The stories of ineptitude or malfeasance that appear in the daily newspaper are more than examples of high ideals executed poorly. They are examples of the pursuit of ideas—of equality and diversity and progress and centralization and environmentalism and globalization—to absurd and self-destructive limits.
    [….]
    Such pieties endanger us. They are the reason we were slow to contain the influx of Central American refugees, the reason we do not follow-up on illegal immigrants who fail to show up for hearings, the reason we remain unable to strip jihadists of U.S. citizenship, the reason that a year after two Chechen refugees bombed the Boston Marathon, America is preparing to expand resettlement of Syrian refugees. The imperatives of the caste, the desire to make actual whatever is rattling around Tom Friedman’s brain at a given moment, take precedence over reality.

    The system can withstand only so many shocks. For the last two years it has suffered nothing but blows, traumas, national and international concussions. The response by our government has been denial and delusion. But that has further alienated the public, and it won’t be long before things get really weird. Maybe it is time for the political class to panic, too.

  29. Ebola: Well And Truly Screwed?

    NOTE: These posts are not an attempt to be comprehensive in coverage of the Ebola story.  They just contain some items that have caught my eye [which is still not hemorrhaging blood, I’m happy to report — that only happens when I look at Rosie O’Donn…

    I’d have gone for “please bare with us” but YMMV.

  31. McGehee says:

    Feel free to spell it as you like, and behave accordingly.

    We’ll need pictures.

  32. BigBangHunter says:

    – Video’s would be even better.

  33. McGehee says:

    With a chicka-bow-bow sound track.

  34. McGehee says:

    So, um, next week’s game between #2 Auburn and #3(T) Mississippi State hasn’t turned up yet on my TiVo program guide.

    Unless #1 Florida State is playing #3(T) Ole Miss the same day (they’re not), ours is going to be college football’s Big Game™ that weekend.
