Hi guys & gals

We've been getting a lot more spam recently and I want to make sure it's all eradicated from the site because it can give you site a bad reputation if it contains links to untrusted or suspect material.  So to try to combat it I've changed the settings of the main blog so comments need to be moderated before they appear on the site.  I will get an email when a post needs moderating so I will do it continuously when I get the messages and hopefully the delay in the message appearing won't be too long.  

Hopefully there is a feature that will allow certain posters to be always approved so after a while there will be no delay at all for most regular posters, but I'll have to wait and see what controls are available to me when I get notifications.

Hopefully it won't be permanent and moderation can deter some of the arse holes but we'll have to see how it goes.

Cheers
Mark
