OTW has always had a policy of allowing everyone to comment. This is something that’s important to us, and something we plan on continuing. Unfortunately, due to repeated and incessant comments from porn bots, we have recently had to set up comment moderation on our Livejournal page. All comments from actual users will be approved!
Right now this is only a temporary measure. If the explicit bots stop, we’ll turn it off again. But for the next couple months, all user comments will be manually approved. Thank you so much for your understanding!
