I'll need to cross check, but I think with the default settings, it's currently supported.
> 2. Some public forums want anonymous posts that they can check and allow manually but still need to know who it came from (newspapers in Sweden does this a lot). Usually requires entering an email adress every time and a checkbox "I prefer to be anonymous".
Good idea, I'll add support for anonymous posting with appropriate moderation policies to prevent spam/abuse.
Thanks for the feedback.
I guess that would fool most ad blockers, and users would have to blacklist the "comments.mysite.com" on an individual basis. Seems kind of shady to me. Have you considered this?
There's nothing wrong with using the CNAME if you're only serving comments off that domain.
Also, I'm pretty sure you can regex adblocking DNS entries, so you could block on comments.. pretty easily with minimal casualties. You'd have to intentionally randomize it to bypass adblockers... Which will probably get your domain listed as a badhost by most peers.
(Smarter adblockers would check for CNAMEs and IP blocks, but let's not ecalate the arms race for no reason.)
Two things:
1. Please make sure you support all languages (utf-8).
2. Some public forums want anonymous posts that they can check and allow manually but still need to know who it came from (newspapers in Sweden does this a lot). Usually requires entering an email adress every time and a checkbox "I preffer to be anonymous".
