How unfortunate

Posted on Friday, April 28, 2006 at 06:05 by Registered Commenterdippuadmin | Comments7 Comments

I had traced the comment spammer to an individual at Glenbard High School in Illinois. Ashish has an idea as to who it might be. I contacted the network administrator there, and hopefully the problem is resolved. Unfortunately, while the person may be stopped from doing it on his spare time at school, this still means he can do it at home also. Thus, I've decided to make all comments moderated. It will be slow and tedius, but I and the rest of the team will do their best to approve the appropriate comments when we need. All this could get solved once we get to our new site. It's sad that one person's idiocy has to hurt the rest of us, but that's how it goes. Thanks

Alright guys, I think I can resolve your problem

This is partially my fault. A while ago me and my friend went on this site at school. When we saw the long post I though it would be funny to see how u guys reacted if we kept posting. Obiously you guys got pissed off. So then I stopped. Unfortunately my friend did not. But don't worry about it because one of the computer aides at our school talked to him about and he blocked out dippu from being visited. I am deeply sorry for what this harmless joke turned into. Please forgive me. I will do my best to make sure that this does not happen again.

Yo what's up? Looks like some of these immature high school students are making your work harder. Anyway thought I would say hello to all the hard working dippu staff. Keep it real!!! Peace out and Keep on desiring Jesus.

Dippu, finally, you decided to approve comments and then post it. On PCNAK discussion board, with hundreds of topics and long entries, everything is going smoothly. Hindutva has a discussion board, and they screen comments and post it. So have the back bone to own up and say, "sorry". You could have chosen NOT to post the long article, which was very relevant to your new topic "The Gospel of Judas".

sometimes, i am at a total loss for words. i usually get over it by saying the obvious. like what in the name of all that is worth commenting on is your point, mr anony?
i tried analyzing your comment.
sentence 1 - a statement about dippu.com. sentence 2 - statement aboutpcnakyouth.com
sentence 3 - statement about some hindutva site. i'm assuming hindutva.com
sentence 4 - imperative statement calling for much wailing and putting on of sackcloth.
sentence 5 - two part sentence, positing a possible action which is admittedly not the right thing to do since object of action had relevance to a topic under discussion on website.

now who are we apologizing to and for what? I'm only too happy to, but i need to know who...

for the record, I am not in favor of comment moderation. it increases our workload, which i'm not in favor of as a lazy person, and it also introduces an element of censorship, which I dont think we need more of. There have been several posts I tried to post on pcnak which were not posted. I havent tested the hindutva board moderation policy. But I wouldn't want dippu.com turning into something like that.

This case was a little different. We had one long article being posted as a comment on several different posts, and I was getting carpal tunnel just scrolling down the page. In the interests of my health, it was decided to do a little hunting. Decruz's bloodthirsty nature had nothing to do with it.

so you see, mr. anony, i happen to think moderated comments are not a good idea. imagine if this comment never showed up because i decided it was inappropriate.

My point! Lazy boy! If somebody had taken time to screen, the "crapola" (ur word) wouldn't have occured.
