I note on the current blog post that we've very few comments on the latest post, and IIRC the one before last was similar. Is the usefulness of the blog as a tool to promote the fundraiser coming to end-of-life? Or are the mods being much more selective?
I wouldn't say that I'm being any more selective about it, although I certainly can't speak for the other mods. I agree with Robert here that it's a case of diminishing returns: we are getting fewer quality comments in the queue, and are able to approve of less of them because of it. I would also say that the volume of spam and nonsense is increasing slightly, perhaps as news of the blog reaches more people.
