I've added a comment moderation feature. Basic idea is that people can mod down spam, and pick up points as they do so. At first, everybody starts with 1 point, which means they can take one point off a comment (which are given 2 + poster's score = 3 or more points). If they mod down a comment that's already been modded down, they get 0.2 points (i.e. bonus points for modding down actual spam). When a comment's score goes down to 0, it gets removed.
In order to implement this feature, I had to add some visitor tracking via cookies. Since cookies are supposed to be good, I decided to use the same cookies to remember visitor's identities. That is, if you enter your name and URL once when posting a comment, it'll remember so that you won't have to re-enter the same info all the time.
Another minor change is that, when posting a comment, if no name is specified, the poster's perceived IP address is used.
