Comments Policy Update

We've been on the new comments system for a few days now, and I'm pretty happy with the results. The Disqus system allows for direct replies, user ratings, and takes the processing load from my servers. It also does a better job of keeping spam out of the comments section than Movable Type, which makes it easier to maintain as well.

As noted earlier, we will move towards restricting comments to registered users only. I'm going to start that process today to keep the trolls and sockpuppets out. We've had a few take advantage of the new system, and I want to keep from having to overmanage that aspect of it. For the next couple of days, comments from unverified users will get reviewed by me and posted if appropriate. By Monday, commenters will need to have a Disqus registration in order to participate in the CapQ forums.

Thanks for your patience!

UPDATE: Make sure you've verified your account with Disqus. That requires an e-mail process, but I do not have access to the e-mail addresses.
