I created this project to implement comments on my own blog. This is the first project I’ve publicly released, so any feedback/contributions are welcome. If you like what you see, feel free to leave me a star on GitHub :)
No worries, mate. It just made me laugh, and I took the opportunity to make the joke with, arguably, one of the best slapstick movies of all time. I fully condone account creation for comment boards to fight spam, just the phrasing was funny, is all.
I do appreciate the feedback though, and I agree that it’s not really anonymous if you have to enter your email. I have removed that word from the login panel title.
