Blog FAQs [3] Comments
Hello folks,
I was just able to confirm that whoever has been leaving the innappropriate comments has also been spoofing Mikhail’s name. All the comments that have been left under Mikhail’s name from before do not belong to him, and I’m going to delete them from the blog.
I currently have a few security measure in place to prevent this from happening again.
One- please LOG IN to the 10TOPs blog before you do any posting OR Commenting.
TWO- some of you may find that when you leave a comment, it doesn’t appear immediately. Don’t take this personally. If you haven’t left an approved comment before, it holds your commments in moderation until we can make sure that you are you.
Three- how do we know that you are you? Because you gave us your e-mail addresses. If you leave a comment while not logged in, if the e-mail address you left doesn’t match the one we have on file, then we get suspicious.
And finally, you all have helped diffuse the situation by not taking the bait. A troll will only persist in creating havoc in a place that rewards the bad attention. You folks have redirected the energy of the blog into some amazing discussions. For my part, I’m sorry for jumping to conclusions too quickly. I have, in the past, seen mature, intelligent people do crazy things when they get into an online space where they think, eroneously, that there are no consequences to their actions. So it was plausible, though disappointing to me, to think that this might be happening here.
Thank you for your patience,
ms. parrish
