Please Leave a Comment… No Wait.

Why, why my fellow bloggers do you make it so hard for people to leave a fucking comment on your blog? Don’t tell me it’s the spam, that’s bullshit. There are too many tools out there to prevent spam without turning commenting into a fucking quest.

Leaving comments on blogs is sometimes more complex than getting your first girlfriend to let you touch her boobs. Seriously, it’s a fucking gauntlet. I don’t know about Blogger anymore because I dumped that lame software a few years back for the more upscale more solid WordPress and there are easy ways of moderating comments that make is simple for your visitors to leave comments also.

Because here’s the deal folks and I’m not the only one who feels like this. If I have to register to leave a comment, I won’t register and will never leave a comment. Because I can’t be bothered to remember so many users and passwords to so many sites (even if I use a master user/password) plus I can’t be bothered to login everytime my cookie expires. It’s fucking annoying. So save us the “my blog is so swamped with trolls” bullshit because it’s not. Not enough anyway. I have a spam detector that does its work and once in a while I hit the DELETE button. The rest of the moderation is easily managed.

There’s only one acceptable way to make a comment entry acceptable for everyday users, a name field, an email field, a website field and a comment field. A captcha if you want, that’s acceptable and the Follow checkbox is always cool. Anything else if fucking retarted.

Web 2.0 is supposed to be user-friendly.
