Removal of Comment Forms

Published on October 24, 2009 in Nothing Important. 0 Comments Tags: , .

I have decided to remove the ability to add comments underneath tutorial posts. The basic reasons for this are:

  • Most comments are spam. Although I have Akismet installed, quite a lot of spam comes through. I am, quite frankly, tired of sorting through the spam.
  • Most comments are questions regarding the respective tutorial. I try to reply to most of the comments, but by adding more and more comments, everything becomes a huge mess. The number of comments shown on the page is beyond an amount someone can coordinate through.

It hurts to loose the interactivity between me and the viewers, but it is such a relief to no longer have to fight the spam.

Questions regarding tutorials can be posted in the Apple Discussion forums. See you there!
