Default FP to 'comments need moderation' policy #101

Closed bttrx closed 8 months ago

bttrx commented 2 years ago

Hi!

By searching the internet, I found numerous (orphaned?) FlatPress instances with large spam comments linking to dubious sites. For new installations I recommend to ship FP's commentcenter plugin with a default policy, that any comments need to be approved by the blog's maintainer. Of course, this will not heal orphaned instances, but make new more secure and also improve privacy.

After fixing, update https://wiki.flatpress.org/doc:defaults#comment_center and https://wiki.flatpress.org/en:doc:basic:installation

Cheers, Robert
