Comments have been a problem for a while, with a large volume of comments, often off-topic and not of high quality.
As a solution to this problem, I have implemented a new policy. Only logged-in users can comment, and only those who are Tally Room members can log in. That’s people who donate $8 (+GST) per month, plus some grandfathered users who give $5 per month and have been doing so since before the price rise.
If you are a Tally Room member and want to have broader discussions, there is always the Discord. Hopefully this will restore the comments to actually being relevant to the content being posted.
