Popularity and flattery
Tue, Jan. 18th, 2011 10:13I've been getting several anonymous, flattering comments to one of my older posts -- they haven't been showing up to general view because I have anonymous posters on "Screen", of course -- but despite the careful vagueness of the flattery, it still doesn't make sense in context.
Ergo, spammers again.
For the next while, I've removed the option for anonymous posting. It's not like I"m worried about a drop in my page hits (gasp!) or something; I write over here when I have a really off-the-wall topic, like "Healthy Boundaries in Business OR Friendships {NOT BOTH}" or maybe "Nostrils", and it doesn't suit any of my other venues.
I suppose if someone genuinely needs to get in touch with me, without creating a LiveJournal or associated account, it'll require a bit of playing Telephone. Try contacting me on another forum, if we happen to share a membership location, or search out WookieeGunner someplace. In the greater fandom, everybody knows somebody who knows
wookieegunner .
And I'll turn the anon posting (with screening) back on after a month or three, and see what happens.
