In response to my readers, I have now made it possible for comments to get posted without individual review by me.

The only hurdle now is that users have to preview comments first, and then post them.

This is a little bit of a test to make sure that a human being is behind the commenting and involves the generation of a hash code.

There a few things I have noticed with this code - first, the error that users get when they try and post without previewing (only in the case where they change some of their information in a preview and then try to post) is not really accurate.

The second is that it is quasi-compatible with TypeKey, at least from my testing. Ideally, a person with a Type-key identity who has signed in should not be challenged to do a preview - they should be “fast tracked.” In this case, it doesn’t appear that they get any special treatment, so this scheme makes TypeKey less useful.

I am cautiously optimistic that this will work, so let’s see what happens! If it doesn’t work, I’ll just go back to TypeKey, which seems tailor made for this purpose.
