To the 64 people with co.uk addresses who have tried to post comments since January 7 and been turned away, we apologize. You should be able to comment now.
Spam filtering is a far from perfect science. Sometimes spam gets through and sometimes good comments are blocked, despite our best efforts. That’s what happened here: a string was added to our blacklist that inadvertently blocked all co.uk urls.
I can assure you that hackers were not involved.
This kind of thing has happened before and I’m sure it will happen again (oh the joys of fighting spam yet allowing open dialogue), so please drop us a line if you’re unable to post a comment and we can sort it out.
