Another Reminder About Comments on TUAW

We interrupt today's punditry to do a little housekeeping.

This morning we introduced a new comment/commenter rating system and the feedback has been mostly positive. Yay for that! All this talk of comments has reminded me, though,  that you need to be reminded how comment verification is handled here at TUAW and on all WIN sites. In order to combat spam and other nuisances we ask you to verify your email address each and every time you submit a comment. It's not the best solution in the world, but it's a neccesary evil for now, and for the most part it works well, so let's all try to cooperate with it. When you submit a comment, you'll notice the following message on screen:

If you don't follow those instructions and click the link in that email, your comment will never see the light of day. It's a real shame when that happens, because I see a lot of damn good comments come through my email inbox, hour after hour, that go unpublished.

And of course, we can't give you stars if your comment never gets published!

We now return you to your regularly scheduled witticisms.
