We’re trying semi-moderated comments here at the Valve. If you are registered and logged in, your comments should show immediately. If you are not, they go into the queue and are, one hopes, promptly turned on by one of us. (I just noticed that our terms of service specify that you shouldn’t be vulgar. I guess I’m semi-ok with vulgarity. Try me.) The switch appears to have been thrown. All hail the new system! Please report any problems.

Comments

tho the “regulars’ probably view this as a good thing, site moderation is a fairly clear sign of the essential “snitchiness” of most of the current Net (and cop-like attitude of most webmasters), as Pynchon himself noted a few years ago. J-Edgar, if nOt Bukharin, would be pleased.

Our first comment under the new system! In honor of this festive event, we publish bakunin’s protest! - the Management

Long overdue, I think.

And this is a test of whether registered comments show up immediately.

John, where was that comment supposed to be listed? The only reason I knew it was there is because I knew it’d be there. Is there some other place where it’d list all the comments awaiting vetting?

And by “that” I mean the “test” comment I posted and already deleted.

I, for one, welcome our new automoderate E-Z-terms-of-service overlords!

In recognition of your slavish subservience, your term of indenture in our underground comment mines will be cut by 8%, loyal nnyhav! The rest of you! who told you to stop! Shovel faster, faster! Dogs!

... The rest of you! who told you to stop!

Do you mean, perhaps, ‘who told you to stop?

You see, a question mark indicates that the phrase is a question, even though it’s clear a rhetorical [/whipcrack/] ow.

Is moderation still enabled on specific posts even when signed on? Or are there still bugs to be worked out? (Yes, this is a test.)

Were you signed in when you left that comment? If so, yes, there must be bugs. It should have just showed automatically. Instead, I had to ok it. Ah, well. Bugs.

Yes, signed on; “Notify me of follow-up comments” unclicked. Should be a comment in approval queue for Amardeep’s latest. Still, prior comment here appeared prior to your approval (crave it tho I may) on the autoreload.
