Accidental Comment Problems
Just a quick note about some problems we noticed today. Like many blogs, Techdirt Wireless tends to get a bunch of comment spam. We had put in place some tools to deal with it. One of the tools went a little haywire recently, and apparently deleted a few (not that many) legitimate comments, believing they were spam. We're really sorry about this. We figured out what the problem is and have fixed it, but, we did lose some of the comments. We're very sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
