Well after a months-long hiatus from doing anything even remotely related to Blosxonomy, I finally got around to implementing a simple user-confirmation system for the comments system.

Now, when you post comments to an entry, your email is verified against a list of authorized emails. If your email isn't in my list, a verification email is automatically generated and sent to you, containing a link. All you need to do is click the link to confirm your email, and voiala, your comment appears, and you're free to comment as much as you like.

Hopefully this simple step will significantly reduce the amount of comment spam I recieve on this site.

In other sad news, a simple typo in a bash script resulted in the accidental deletion of all comments in my database. *Oops*. Guess I should have made a backup.
