Add Spam Handling options at blog and global level.

gmazza opened this issue · comments

Main changes:
1.) Most all comments now, spam or not, require approval. Blogs/globally have the option of requiring comment moderation for all but the blog's publishers, all but logged-in users having an account on the TightBlog instance, or none, with global settings determining the least restrictive option available.

2.) Global and blog options can specify how to handle evaluated spam differently from non-spam comments: don't bother checking for spam (require same moderation rules as non-spam), just mark as spam on comment review page, mark as spam and send no moderation emails, or automatically delete. Again, global settings determine the most non-spam like handling option available, individual bloggers can choose something more restrictive.

3.) Option for the blogger to preview the comment prior to posting it has been removed. It doesn't offer much over just reviewing the comment typed in prior to posting.

4.) Comment spam-checking consolidated into a new CommentSpamChecker class with more configuration options.

Will be in next release (probably 3.7.0).
