Utilizing all this free time Christmas gives us, I've made some changes to IlohaBlog. Most of it was anti-spam-comment stuff, but there are also some long overdue fixes as well:
- Comments can now be posted as a IlohaBlog member or guest. - If you've already logged in, it'll recognize you, otherwise you can log in directly from the comment form. If you're a guest, you can now only enter your name, no URLs (because that was being abused). Also, guest comments are extremely restricted, but I'll let you spammers figure out what you can or can't do :-)
- Karma - You have karma. If you're bad, you lose karma. If you're good, you get karma. If you lose all your karma, your account gets suspended (it'll be revived if we think it was suspended erroneously).
- Karma vs Comment Score - Not all comments are made equal. If you're bad, your comments will have a low score.
- Comment Deletion - You can now delete comments in your own blog(s) right away. Click on the "moderate" link below the offending comment, and when you hit the "Spam" button, the comment goes *poof* (disclaimer: sound effect not included).
- Comment Formatting - Line breaks in comments are now preserved... Sorry, this should've happened long ago.
- Untitled blog posts - So you know those untitled posts that you couldn't edit/delete because the link wasn't there in the "Recent Posts" page? Well, you can click on them now. Exciting, eh?
