Queue

Today, I had an e-mail discussion with Dries and Benjamin over the use of a moderation queue within the context Mollom provides. I have on implemented in my plugin. The idea is that ‘unsure’ comments that don’t get through the CAPTCHA test, land in a moderation queue… sort of.

Mollom was actually designed to get rid of the queue. Checking if a commenter is human or a spambot happens through the CAPTCHA test. Early on in the process of posting a comment. That makes a queue where an administrator has to do the check after the facts quite unnecessary.

A little progress update on my Mollom for WordPress plugin. The past ten days some unexpected real life events kept me back from programming. No worry, I hope to do some hacking in the upcoming long weekend.

So, where do I stand? Well, I just need to implement the last necessary feature: the moderation queue and feedback module that catches the last 0.1% of (unsure/spammy) messages that Mollom can’t process itself. Shouldn’t be much more than an afternoon’s work though.
