Some months ago, after being inundated with thousands of SPAM comments from what seemed like all corners of the internet, we decided to screen every single comment that came into the site. Unfortunately, this left many comments sitting in a queue for a number of days (our bad!), if they were even published at all. After much deliberation, and more than a healthy amount of pussyfooting and dilly-dallying, we've decided to switch over our commenting system entirely to facebook.
