Just an update, I am test driving a new spam filter on the site this week… keep your fingers crossed and please give me any feedback. If we still have problems with comments being incorrectly flagged as spam, I will probably have no other choice than to try implementing registration. We’ll see how this week goes…

peace+joy,

Thanks for your patience during our break… I’ve been loving all the creative outflow from our recent topics, and I’m ready for our next wave of inspiration, how about you?

Since our problem with comments being incorrectly flagged as spam has only moderately improved, one possible solution is to require registration in order to comment on this site.

It would work something like this: You would fill in a one-time registration form to become a member. After I manually approve your registration, you would log in to the site each time you visited the site to leave a comment. One extra step for you to comment, but it should ideally alleviate the need for such a hefty spam filter.

What do you think about having to register to become a member in order to leave comments at Inspire Me Thursday?

Sorry gang, there will be no new updates for the weeks of June 26 and July 3. My apologies to all!

peace+joy,

Hello and Happy June to you all!

I know there are still problems going on with posting comments and I ask that you please bear with me while I try to sort this issue out and find a resolution. In the meantime, I have installed a feature that should notify you if your comment has been flagged as spam — if you receive this alert, please let me know, and I will go manually approve your comment.

Please do not post comments more than once; if your comment is not appearing it most likely got flagged as spam. Continuing to post duplicate comments is only going to make it harder to convince the filter that you are indeed not a spammer.

Thank you all for your patience and understanding.

peace+joy,
