[Motd] Comment moderation | ANN.lu |

This is just a friendly reminder to all regulars of the comments section that profanity, personal insults and postings that otherwise violate ANN's guidelines can and will be deleted. Today, I implemented code to allow Christope and Teemu to moderate comments, which should ensure stricter enforcement of the posting guidelines and eliminate some of the noise.
I'm also working on a "trusted user" system, that would allow regular visitors to authenticate with me and have their name or nickname reserved. This will be optional. Since this is still work-in-prgress, comments on this subject are most welcome - especially on how the authentication could work.

Comment moderation : Comment 7 of 52 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Christian Kemp on 10-Mar-2003 20:23 GMT | In reply to Comment 1 (dammy): It's all fairly rudimentary right now, and it depends on which feature set I actually implement. The basic "trusted user" thing could open fairly soon (and for my user name is working already, if you look closely at the location the IP address is normally displayed). What's harder to implement is a reliable way to authenticate users. I don't really trust email, since for a lot of people I have no way of verifying that the email address used is indeed their real address. I've been toying with the idea of accepting small PayPal contributions, or showing up at Amiga fairs and attributing user names and passwords to anyone who shows interest a valid ID... but that's all fairly hypothetical, and doesn't seem to be an optimal solution. |
