That said, The Reluctant Homefront has a new comment policy in effect:
Comment Policy:
The Internet allows for wonderful connections and a wealth of knowledge to become available at the brush of a fingertip. Although this is a great boon, it can also lead to abuses. This blog, while open to public comment, is not a forum for visitors to air grievances or stand on soapboxes. Rather than viewing this as a street corner, consider it my front yard. While you are welcome to chat over the fence or walk through the gate as I invite you, I do not allow solicitors to bang on the door.
He doesn't like it, either.
Please feel free to voice an opinion on the topic at hand that is different from mine...I love to hear others' thoughts as long as they are
♥ Respectful
♥ Relevant
♥ Not blatantly self-promoting or proselytizing
If your comment does not meet these requirements, within my view, it will be removed. My apologies for any inconvenience, but I reserve the right to sweep the dust from my porch. I do try to keep things tidy.
With all that said, hope I haven't scared you off! I promise, he's friendly...most of the time.

Your blog, your rules. No apologies necessary :-)
And friendly all the time or not, he sure is a cutie!
I have had comment moderation from almost the beginning of my blog...one of my early comments was a spammer so I hit moderate from that point forward. Most blogs I visit have moderation and I don't mind it.
Sorry you had a 'bad apple'!
Oh crappity crap...I hope I didn't offend with my comments. Gah!
Marni, he's sitting here with that tongue lolling out like a big goofy grin...I'd better not tell him he has a fan club, or I'll never get his big head through the door! ;) But thanks. :)
Joyce, I haven't really had trouble from spammers before this, but I decided one was enough. It's too bad, but it happens.
Allyson, darlin', no worries! Unless you masquerade as a troll in your off-hours, I think you're safe. ;)
I feel like I'm missing something here... Or maybe that's just because I'm sick. Whatever. I do the same thing on my blog. I just had to add on the word verification because I was sick of moderating spam. Why do spammers think it's okay to do that?
P.S. Was the real reason you did this because of my comment last time on my WV word? Go ahead. You can tell me...
;o)
Funny, you'd think "play nice" would be common knowledge. I'm not sure why people think that just because you're not speaking face to face, you can say whatever you want... Crazy trolls ;)
Love you!
Someone spammed my brother's site this morning. Completely inappropriate considering the post. Please send your dog over to bite the spammers butt.
Thanks! ;)
