||| FROM LIN MCNULTY, ORCASONIAN EDITOR |||
Due to the number of Orcasonian comments slipping through the ‘system’ using amusing, but obvious, pseudonyms we are instituting a new policy that will require all comments to be approved manually is taking effect immediately.
I suspect that only your first comment will require approval, and once approved will flow the system speedily; it’s not like every one of your comments will forever be delayed to go through the ‘system.’
Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

Lin, I fully support this policy shift. Thank you for your leadership and commitment to our community.
And I appreciate all the extra work you put in to making this such a responsive, responsible publication.
Thank you for keeping us informed about what is going on around here.
Great decision Lin. Anyone who uses a pseudonym or wishes to remain anonymous in casual community comments that by nature necessitate reasonably factual statements to further the specific discussion should be rejected outright. The Orcasonian, as I have come to know it, is not a masked ball but a pertinent and helpful conversation in challenging times.
I fully support the transparency.
Additionally, we’re a small community. I think it’s important – and the right thing to do – that a commenter take responsibility for their comment when they make it. We don’t have room for trolls on this island.
(unless they’re under the Olga bridge).
Orcasionian chief rabble-rouser,
