hmm, so I was thinking about the performance hit from the extra difflib call. There are
two
choices:
put ALL non-registered users under a separate process that is niced to be of lower
priority
(higher nice) than the registered version.
OR simply use an if statement to only do the difflib/anti-troll call for non-registered.
If you agree with me that trolling is an issue and that my solution is effective (or some
derivate
of it yet to be chiseled out), then it will be FACT that non-registered users will put
more hit on
the server, thus its logical to put them at a lower priority (something that ALSO will be
an
anti-troll mechanism).
ALSO, i believe that one 50 character add/delete (as discussed in previous message) should
result
in automatic write-blocking until they make the effort to write an email (or use some web
interface) explaining their actions.
There are NO anonymity/privacy issues from making someone register.
