Spam!

Greetings

Well, our listing on the Cool Site of the Day brought us plenty of visitors as expected. It also brought us some unwelcome spammers. We began receiving a flood of automated comment spam to everyone’s listings. Since there is a system in place to email you when a new comment has been posted about your site, many of your received notifications that you had a new comment. We had deleted these spammed comments so, it appeared that you were receiving false notifications. We apologize for this. To combat this spam we had to implement the visual confirmations on all comments. I know some people don’t care for these, but unfortunately we are forced to use this step to block the spamming. I hope it’s not too much of an inconvenience to everyone. Thanks for your patience in this matter, and rest assured, we would never be the ones spamming your email!

Best Regards,

-Jake
