No More Urls Or Site Names In Comment Names Please

May 27th, 2007 • Related • Filed Under

Can readers please stop using urls, products or site names in comment names. The Top Commentators section is to reward my best readers, but it’s not there to be manipulated.

It’s not very helpful for other readers of the site to see in the recent comments that ‘Online Share Trading’ has left another comment in the recent comments or has left 5 comments this week. It would be a lot nicer to see that ‘Dan And Jennifer’ or ‘Martin’ have left another comment.

From today, if any comments are left with a site name, product description or url I will change the commenter name manually.

    Everton - The only reason I use my name they way I do is that Mark is a fairly common name and on many of the other blogs I post Mark from 45n4 was posting and we were getting confused.

    It was never my intent to “manipulate” - just wanted folks to know it was me rather than somebody else.

    @Rob - it had nothing to do with you.

    @Mark - It’s not complicated - why don’t you just use your name?
