Goals

  • Allow users to comment on Haiku
  • Discourage / manage spam
  • Option to personally moderate
  • Option to change how it’s done
  • Don’t use up my quota
  • Allow similar level of anonymity to posting Haiku

Old Plan

  • Improve Forth Haiku to support commenting inline
  • Use OpenID for login, possibly optional
  • Manually vet spam
  • Hope I don’t go over-quota
