Hey everyone, thank you for contacting us with the problems you are having at the moment with posting comments.

While you may be told your message has been trashed or disallowed or denied, they are in fact all remaining on site.

So please be patient and your comments will turn up.

We are working on the problem and will have a solution soon.

PS -While we are having this discussion about comments, we have always felt moderated comments were a way to go to avoid trolling. The Internet can be a pretty rude place at times so we wanted to try and reduce that.

How would everyone feel about

a) Direct posts to blogs.

TDB Recommends NewzEngine.com

b) Moderation after publishing (if we went down this path we would need volunteer moderators).

c) We are going to start clamping down more on personal abuse between commentators and would like to open up thoughts form you the readers about what you would like to see in terms of comments and what the rules should be.

Please leave comments below. Thoughts on what we will do will be published middle of next month.

Cheers TDB Team

  1. Why change what was working well ,forget the trolls,we can ignor them.
    Hacking is more of a problem , now that we know the police are watching TDB.
    Scarlet mod did a good job of moderating,if TDB finds a comment not acceptable, then say so ,at least we know where we are.
    Some really are aggressive and foul language gets through ,but some of them are so true and well researched ,we can cope with the rough comments.
    Now we don’t know if the deletions are personal or outside influence.

  2. Again my comment has disappeared, you invited comment , do we have to wait till middle of next month to have you do something.

    bye bye comment, maybe we should give up commenting,its frustrating.

  3. All great thanks TDB. Any mean comments I can cry myself to sleep. Don’t look at ratings. Nice to have somewhere to share info and points of view. Thanks 😀

  4. Danger Will Robinson! Danger Will Robinson!

    Well a warning at least…

    Be very careful not to venture too far into the dark forest called “Keeping it Clean”; it’s only a hop step and jump to censorship (or at least an intervening tree trunk). And then you just end up being as bad as the ones we’re all trying to decry…

    I don’t mind the right winger wingers (er… winjers) trying to peddle their fetid dingo’s kidney stones here; it’s nice to have an easy victim sometimes.

    By all means keel haul the blog hackers. They really are a bloody pain in the arse…

    Aside from that what’s wrong with the Scarlet Pumpernickel taking care of business?
