Spammers Force Commenting Policy Change
Sorry, folks, but DCoT has been receiving so much spam in the comments that it is adding a significant load to the server. Because of this, I have changed the site setting so that only registered users can submit comments to the website. I know that this sucks but I need to take measures to prevent the system from going down simple because some people can’t get it through their thick skulls that I (and probably the DCoT readers) don’t want to buy their crap products. If I did, I’d be coming to them and they would not have to bother me.
So, sorry for having to make this change but, as usual, a few have spoiled it for the many. Thanks, losers!

Have you installed Bad Behavior as well? That really seems to stop a lot of comment spam.
Keep up the great work with your site.

You could use one of those image recognition verifications.
It’s annoying but it gets the job done.
