Free the Swampland Commenters!
Open letter to the High Sheriffs:
I know you guys are still struggling to get us back on our feet with this new platform, and we all appreciate how big a job it has been, but could we do something about the glitch that keeps sending perfectly fine comments into moderation? I've unstuck about 150 comments from the filter today. I am starting to feel like the Simon Bolivar of Swampland, and the commenters are getting very, very cranky.

Viva Tumulty!!

Viva la revolucion bolivariana

Mr. Eisenberg, please tear down this (moderation filter) wall!!

In all fairness more than a few were cranky BEFORE the change over.

KT - You are just 94 theses and two days short! It was Oct. 31, 1517 that Luther posted his 95 theses on the church door.

Tumulty 2012!!!

PNNTO: You are correct. But KT wasn't talking about them (us);)
-

Whoops. I just forgot what I said above is a chavista slogan. Please disregard.
-

Wait, I'm confused. Does this mean KT is going to Haiti to raise an army of cranky commentators and plans to become their dictator?
-

Viva la revolucion tumulteana (better)

Huh, I thought of commenters as more like Timothy Leary, with you in the role of the Weather Underground.
-
12
Too tired to keep up with my fellow commenters

KT kicks ass.
Hey, wait a sec... Was this just a ploy to "feel the love"? Are you feeling bummed, KT, and you need a pick-me-up?
Just kidding. Thank you for noticing our plight.

KT, can you make it 151...?

Of course you are right Andy, this has turned some of the more temperate commenters cranky.
Someone, I can't recall who, said she was leaving out of frustration.
Poor KT having to waste her time with this stuff.
Carney has all the TIME in the world he could be the unlocker. -

We believe in you, Ms. Tumulty! You can do it!
-

It might be helpful if we at least knew what the rules are. For example, don't use McCain and swine in the same sentence.

Thank you Mrs. Tumulty!

JennofArk and Flownover, that I can remember. -

KT - and why aren't you getting cranky? Aaaagh. sorry about making you all look at that emoticon. Life here has become a Pogo Strip.

Which reminds me. Andy - Rex Stout's another commonality. I started reading him when I was about 12. Archie Goodwin was my ideal man. I've got nearly all the original series plus a couple of the ones Goldborough tried to write as take-offs. only so-so. There's a cook book too, did you know? -

Thank you!!
I know that I've reduced my participation immensely knowing that most of my comments won't appear until nobody's watching the thread any more.
Better you should turn off moderation entirely and engage in sturdy retro-moderation than what we've been dealing with since the crash.

I still say this is a fine opportunity to give a hip-hooray to the NSA for the fine algorithms that keep us safe, secure and free.
-
23
My thank you to KT was thrown into moderation for no apparent reason.
Urgh.

24
JFL beat me to it, but VIVA KT!

And clearly the combination of the delusional one and his teammate is out because it always sends me to the penalty box. But at least I can still say grateful which I am KT for championing our cause.
