I had to make a change to how comments can be posted on my blog.\u00c2\u00a0 You will now have to be logged in to post a comment.\u00c2\u00a0 Why?\u00c2\u00a0 Well, at first it was just one little email saying, WordPress – Please Moderate Comment(s).\u00c2\u00a0 Inside the email there was a comment from someone I don’t know and have never heard of, with a comment like, “great site!” and 50 or so links under the comment for viagra.\u00c2\u00a0 No big deal, I simply marked the comment as spam and moved on.\u00c2\u00a0 Then I started getting these emails two and three times a week.\u00c2\u00a0 I couldn’t just turn of the moderator notifications – that’s how I met some of you guys.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
I had to do something when I started getting four or five of them a day.\u00c2\u00a0 By requiring users to be logged in to post a comment, spammers will not be able to send me these “buy my stuff” links.\u00c2\u00a0 This also means, however that you have to be logged in to post a comment.\u00c2\u00a0 I really enjoy reading your comments and it encourages me to keep posting, keep cycling, keep dieting, etc.\u00c2\u00a0 So I really do hope you will sign in and post.\u00c2\u00a0 If you haven’t yet registered, you can do so here<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0(http:\/\/sackrider.org\/myblog\/wp-register.php<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I had to make a change to how comments can be posted on my blog.\u00c2\u00a0 You will now have to be logged in to post a comment.\u00c2\u00a0 Why?\u00c2\u00a0 Well, at first it was just one little email saying, WordPress – Please Moderate Comment(s).\u00c2\u00a0 Inside the email there was a comment from someone I don’t know […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-80","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sackrider.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sackrider.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sackrider.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sackrider.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sackrider.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.sackrider.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2906,"href":"https:\/\/www.sackrider.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80\/revisions\/2906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sackrider.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sackrider.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sackrider.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
