API Verified Comments Promotion #10

API tagged battle report tweets. Well something like that. Players that are API verified and one of the pilots on said account is involved in a fight, they can add a small comment on their involvement on the ship destruction. Theirs or someone else's. Normal viewers who were not involved would have the generic comment page but those involved would have first hand micro-report to share. Every ship explosion has a story to tell, it is time we start tracking it better from those who were there.

Seems unnecessary to me.

Sounds like a good idea, but I see it becoming just another troll comment page. Although API-only commenting with no anonymous posting would probably lead to an interesting killboard.

I'm inclined to agree with no anonymous comments. I think auto display of API verified comments first, then with people who weren't there hidden by default. They would still need an account to comment. How do we feel about accounts?

Well I was hoping that they can create an account and the user name has to be one of the characters on the account tied to it. But yes, I definitely think it should be API only to dramatically cut back on trolling. Would it be very hard to implement? i just think it would add a lot to the kill board. It will be nice to look at a battle report and mouse over and see specific pilot reports. Would add depth to fight for sure.

If/when CCP revamps the API keys (see #14), this will be easy, as people shouldn't have any objections on inputting an killlog specific key, as there is not other data that could be gotten from it, but it would verify the account.

As a note, they will probably have this done before we are 1.0 (even with Soon)
