I went to bed last night at 12 midnight Eastern time. At that point, with approximately 2 hours left in the deal (right?), the last comment on the GOTD download page was #62. The comment I left at 2:30 pm had not yet been "moderated."
I wake up this morning to find 98 comments. I don't know if the additional 36 comments were "moderated" between midnight and 2 am, or if they were (pointlessly) moderated after the expiration of the deal, but I do know that my comment was not moderated for more than *9* hours. This is a ridiculous amount of time to wait when the software is available for only 24 hours.
I have read that you feel that without moderation, the comments would be filled with spam, the site would be out of control, etc. That's fine, but you need to be more diligent about moderating the comments, or you need to rely on the community to weed out the ones that don't contribute (as on Amazon, for example).
