Going back to anonymous #132

Closed Zimmi48 closed 9 years ago

Zimmi48 commented 9 years ago

I've run in some strange error on Isso. You can replicate the issue by going to the demo page. First, post a comment as anonymous. Then, post a comment with your name. Then, try again to post a comment as anonymous. You can't! And you cannot post any comment at all anymore even with your name.

The reverse scenario (name-anonymous-name) creates the same problem as well as (email-no email-email) and (website-no website-website).

To be able to post again so I could replicate this issue multiple times, I had to delete all the comments I had just posted and then I could post again.

I'm not familiar with the Python server code yet so I have no idea where does the issue come from.

It is actually a feature to prevent many direct replies instead of having a nested conversation. The default limit is 3, but you can change that:

[guard]
direct-reply = 10

More details in the guard section: http://posativ.org/isso/docs/configuration/server/#guard

Oh cool! Sorry, it did not occur to me that it could be a feature.
