Hi all, just a heads up that we frequently have legitimate comments in the Spam queue on the Magazine. So if you have the ability to moderate this queue, please never click the "Empty Spam" button. I have noticed that legitimate comments that appear in the Spam folder seem to always be marked in the spam folder as "Cleared by Akismet" -- not sure why, if they are cleared by akismet, they are still in the spam folder. But all i have been doing to clear the queue, is: 1. Open the spam folder, and search for "Cleared" on the page with the find in page function of my web browser. 2. Review the comments, and mark any legitimate comments as not spam. 3. select all the remaining comments in the page, and delete them 4. repeat for all the other pages of spam comments Note too that marking a comment as not spam only puts it back in the normal comments pending queue, so you will need to go there to finally approve the comment to get it viewable on the site. cheers, ryanlerch

For each article, a new thread would automatically be created on this list, and then at the bottom of each page, instead of comments, there would simply be links to that thread. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org&gt; Fedora Project Leader -- marketing mailing list marketing(a)lists.fedoraproject.org List info or to change your subscription: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing
