LG: Seems like you’re having a bad day and need to spit some vitriol at someone. Might I suggest that some meditation, yoga or a little light exercise might help you to deal with your inner pain. A sensible diet, plenty of greens, roughage etc can help too.
If the pain gets to be too much to handle then you could always take off that cop uniform and come and join us, for we are your brothers and sisters and you’ll be welcomed with open arms.
Perhaps you’re getting too much sleep? Now is the time to wake up, rise and shine.
Love, Light and Peace to you and yours.

Oh come on. You are making it hard work for yourselves and frustrating for users.

Comments now take a long time to appear so debate between comment writers is impossible. Haven’t you noticed that the comment count has fallen by several hundred percent since you started moderating?

You really should be able to manage comment spam in a way that does not stifle comment debate. You are not the first site to be spammed.

This site is on WordPress.com right? In which case you have some great tools to combat spam at your fingertips – Askimet is very effective. You will need to tweak the default settings and a few comments will still need manually approving but it will be better for everyone.

All comments here are nofollow so it is surprising that marketing bots are even bothering. Perhaps the capitalists dogs are targeting you just to piss you off. Just say here if you think this is the case and we’ll put our thinking hats on.

But whatever you do, STOP MODERATING THE COMMENTS.

I agree that all should do a statement. Some I know don’t want to be identified, but surely something could be done for them too.

I have done one. I don’t even stay there.

I want it to stay. Keeeeeep camping!!!!!

There was a _lot_ of comment spam – links to people selling fake designer shoes etc – coming in. Without moderation it’s very hard to control comment spam. You’ll note that negative comments are still being published – it’s only the completely automated and off-topic commercial comment spam that’s no longer getting through.

There has been a homeless person living at St Pauls for 10 years – so much for the corporations claims.

Everyone who has camped should submit a witness statement!!

It is very unfortunate that you have decided to moderate comments. It will lead to claims that you are censors. Please explain why you are doing this.

Occupy Wall Street started a hunger strike in New York, if arrested they will continue the strike in jail.

Does this include negative experiences? There was a band playing ridiculously loud through evening service at the Cathedral again last night.

How does this work? Complete honesty or what?
