Updates to the SL Reports website, this morning, includes a new "captcha" verification that will make sure that people commenting are actually human, and not spam robots. Since the comments system was installed on the site, about 50% of the total comments have been spam. In the past, all of them were manually deleted by site administration and only remained visible for just a few minutes. The captcha question is only asked if you are not logged in to the site and are an anonymous user. You'll still have the ability to post anonymous comments but you'll need to answer the captcha question before submitting. The upgraded comments also gives the site administrators the ability to block specific IP addresses (or rage of IP addresses) from leaving comments. This is done for known spammers, but may interfere in ways we're unaware of, at this time. If you are blocked from leaving comments on the site and you feel that this is an error, please use the "contact us " page to let the site administration know. We'll do our best to explain why or fix things, if there's an error. In an effort to reduce some of the workload for new administrators while remaining an "open forum" for your comments and opinions, this change will be benefitial for everybody.
