New policy re: anonymous comments

[sqbr]

Your comment is allowed to be no more than one of:
a) Unsigned
b) Off topic
c) Rude to me or other commenters
d) to the wrong person or otherwise annoying

And really, should be none of the above. And not anonymous.

*deletes comment which is 3 out of four*

If you want to be rude, at least give people a chance to engage you in extended argument, otherwise you're just a nasty coward.

Gee, I'm glad I started screening the darn things. How hard is to it to create a sockpuppet account or whatever?

Yes, I think you're probably right, which is one reason I tend to let innocuous ones through. What do you mean by "my template"?

The page style or whatever it is that controls the look of your LJ. I assume you can put extra bits of text in wherever?

Not sure anyone will notice the little link on the side, and I'm not changing the title of my blog to "SIGN ALL ANONYMOUS COMMENTS" but you never know it might work :)

I forget that you don't actually see your own LJ style a lot of the time. As you say, it might help.

I have the world's ugliest website so despite the fact I can edit the way it looks I shouldn't get too smug about the benefits of running your own blog.

Oh, I used to have my own blog, but the peer pressure and social connectness of lj brought me in. One of the things I like about having a paid account is the ability to add some css of my own in a vain attempt to make up for lj's inherent ugliness :)
