On the other hand, it worked!

Watch him stare stupefied as his comment erases itself ...
The miraculous vanishing comments solution works like a charm.  If no one can post any comments, then no one can troll!

Radical, I admit.  But not bad as a first approach.

In the absence of the witty, pithy, sensible and reasoned discourse that constitutes 99% of the discussion on College Misery, I offer this article for those looking for another way to procrastinate astute commentary on the problems of comments in the blogosphere:

  1. CM, I have that problem even with logging into Blogger/Google's system. I am active on several blogs so I use different handles. Commenting under the wrong name here is a little tricky. With Blogger, I could just delete the comment immediately. If Disqus doesn't allow a commenter to delete their entry, that could be a serious problem.

  2. Maybe you could delete all the text in your comment. At least nobody would see what you wrote, although they would see that you wrote something. That's no different than Blogger's systems we used previously.

  3. Hi Ben. I agree that it is not ideal. One reader wrote to me last night saying he has 2 distinct logins for things, and he always uses Firefox for one and Chrome for the other. That way his settings and logins stay saved in whatever browser he's in. Intriguing idea, I think.

  4. Severin, Severin, speak so slightly. Severin, down on your bended knee. Taste the whip, in love not given lightly. Taste the whip; now plead for me. I am tired. I am weary. I could sleep for a thousand years. A thousand dreams that would awake me. Different colors made of tears.
