Silly pirate. Pirate hats are for real pirates!
Time for another post of the recent changes to the blog, and this one in particular is very important. It’s about the comments. I’ve been noticing some abuse when it comes to commenting on blogs with the DoFollow feature along with the popular Top Commentator widget. I had to remove the Top Commentator widget last month after finding a spammer leaving comments so they can get their blog to the top spot for free traffic. Here’s an example of another blogger who went through a similar experience. I’m disappointed in the spammers decision to leave their website and have no interest in the blog at all. I’ve also edited and removed several other comments that leave links to irrelevant websites.
Despite all of this, I decided to lift the comment moderation–for now. This means you don’t have to wait for your comment to be moderated before it appears on the site. However, I must ask of you not to take advantage of this because of the DoFollow feature. The comment policy has been updated as well. I want everyone to have fun leaving comments, and I hope these changes will encourage readers to come out and leave their opinions right away. 
In other news: the blog finally has a new header featuring familiar characters from popular anime and game series! I had to move the Project Wonderful banner to the bottom so the header can get a clear view. I apologize for any inconveniences to the advertisers. ^^

Jamaipaneses last blog post..From my other Blogs….First Edition
@ Jamaipanese: Not really, lol. It’s fine..But it helps to brand your blog.
I’ve thought about making a mascot for the blog for a while. I could make one myself, but I’m no good in drawing. I could find someone to hire to make one for me though..
Nice header, and as for the Top Commentators, I disabled it after reading your blog post, thanks for info.
BaseGuardians last blog post..Hot Toys: Appleseed’s Tereus
@BaseGuardian: Np! ^^ I originally wanted to change the number of top commentators from whatever I had to 3, then the more commentators that start commenting, I would increase the number. But after reading of what happened to that other blogger, I just had to get rid of it. :/
That’s a new move. I hate spammers too.
