So we do pay attention to your concerns, or try to, about technical matters and the troll problem, as well as spam comments, which are more of a problem on other Time blogs. I forwarded Trifecta’s Terrapin (sorry! T names!) plea from the last comment thread to our guide to blog matters, and he responded:
Spam-blocking improvements are at the top of our list of necessary updates. A number of desired features that you and other bloggers requested in the past are finally being implemented. Thanks for the inquiry.
We’re looking at solutions to the troll issue and should have some improvements to announce soon.
