Masochist Quote filled

There’s been a few dozen very generous offiers of moderation assistance from readers. I don’t have time to respond to each of them yet, but will do so next week.

My intention at this stage is to conduct a trial for six weeks or so. At the end of the trial I’ll evaluate the pros and cons of the trial. I am very open minded on this issue, and my natural inclination is as little moderation as possible.

Another way I may be able to manage things better is by use of Typekey to authenicate commentors. Typekey will allow me to whitelist most people making comments with new posters being delayed until vetted, and after say three good posts they automatically get added to the whitelist.

My problem is I can’t get Typekey to work on the blog. I had an authentication key and have plugged it in, but it always gives anb error message when used. If there are any experts out there in Movable Type/Typekey please yell out (dpf@ihug.co.nz) and I can give you access to the backend so you can work out what is wrong. And yes Sarah I am thinking of you 🙂 but anyone with experience will do!
