I want users to be able to submit comments on entries. Instead of forcing the user to register, I think it would be a good idea to have them post the comment, and the comment pends approval. First, they MUST enter a valid e-mail address. Their post will then pend THEIR approval, by sending them an e-mail address with a link. Once they click the link, it approves their post. This filters out SOME spammers...i mean, Craigslist can't even avoid spammers and they have almost the same method.

This is just one method...I would like to set it up and see how well it works out. Most spammers won't put in a valid e-mail address would they? and on top of that, approve it..unless they were human? or are these spam bots that intelligent? Thanks.
