Small change in this journal

[ratherastory]

Due to some recent anon comments to my fanfic that were downright rude/possibly someone trolling me and other commenters in the entry, I am now screening anon comments AND forcing anon commenters to verify that they're "real" with CAPTCHA.

This sucks, because I know a couple of people do comment here who don't have LJ accounts. You can blame the internet trolls for this extra level of hassle in your lives. I will NOT have people coming in and being rude to me and to my friends in my own space.

Even if you think my fanfiction is utter shit (which is your right), I will thank you to mind your manners. If you can't manage that, I will delete your comment with extreme prejudice. Fair warning.

Comments

[(Anonymous)]

As an anonymous (for the moment anyway) reader of your work, I just want to come out and say that a) I think your fic is unbelievably awesome, those morons don't know what they're talking about and b) I totally understand your need to put a safeguard on anonymous comments. Who knows, might give me the kick up the backside I need to actually get an account myself! :)

Thank you very much! I am always happy to encourage account creation, but I understand why people don't. I'm just sorry that others are abusing the privilege of anonymous commenting and thus screwing over the nice anons like yourself.
