Just a reminder:
We have been getting a ton of spam comments recently, and it's mostly hidden from you as we automatically screen comments with links. No lie, on the oldest prompt post I had to delete 70 Viagra comments, and it was obviously a bot as they were all timechecked within two minutes of each other. Sure hope I didn't ruin anyone's day, in case you were hoping for discount (and possibly poisonous and illegal) Viagra.
Most recently - and I think some of you might have seen this - there was a strange comment on the special Big Bang post that was asking about becoming a werewolf and included a telephone number? I'm not sure what to think about that.
And then a couple of spammers posting from Facebook accounts have been linking to pay-for-porn sites, and then messaging us with the same posts they've been commenting about.
Anyway, this means that if your prompt contains a link it will automatically be screened. It will be unscreened later if it doesn't actually contain spam, so please only comment once. If we're busy and it's taken over a day or two, nudge me here, as anonymous commenting is on.
Thanks!
Edit: Also, thank you to everyone who has been letting us know on the FAQ about spam that gets through! You've been amazingly helpful!
