I just changed the setting in Wordpress that allows any visitors to comment on posts. To prevent spam I will be moderating ONLY the comments that include a link to somewhere. This combined with the ability to ban specific IP-Addresses should be good enough. If not, I’ll have to change it back to the old way, but I think it’ll be good.
Recently I did the something similar, and allowed all visitors to rate applications. This has improved the Best iPhone Apps section, so I would like to try this with comments as well.

You should check out the Spam Assassin plugin. Way better than Akismet–it kills literally thousands of spam comments a week on my blog.

Im going to use this comment to ask if you could possibly get a better camera, seeing as the one you have at the moment is a bit crap.
dont take this the wrong way btw, i love this site. keep up the good work!

@Dan, I just installed Akismet. . .so far so good.
@Jay, I understand. The camera is actually a good one(logitech quickcam pro) it even shoots in HD.
The issue I think you’re talking about is with motion correct? Makes it kinda blurry? That’s because I have very BAD lighting in my room. And to make the icons/text readable. . .I need to turn on this feature that logitech has(automatic rightlight). That is what is making the motion all blurry.
Then again, I hope this is what you’re complaining about. . .if not then I’m in trouble. I have seen some videos showing off iPhone and iPod Touch applications. . .and they are soooooo much worse than mine.
I do plan on investing in some lights. . .unless someone would be nice enough to donate theirs :p

@jay, check out this video

I did a test one week and that is what it looked like without the ‘right light’ thing. It’s not blurry. . .just very dark.
Thanks for the comment though, I will actively go and look for some lighting solutions now(I don’t like to settle if it’s obvious that there is an issue). I tried walmart yesterday, but I think I’ll do better looking online.
If anyone has any advice on what I should look for, please let me know.

Hey.
I find it kind of strange that you have a blog about iphone applications, yet you don’t have an iphone?
Now wheres the sense in that?
Doug Says: 08.07.08 at 3:01 pm
lol @ sam. . .i have a website about ‘Installer Apps’. . .the applications you find in the Installer.app application.
:p

Well, I’ll pay that.
You do often show videos of iPhone applications and end up not actually showing it since you can’t do anything.
Don’t get my wrong, I like the site, its useful for updates!

@ Sam, no worries. I can handle the criticism as long as it’s constructive. You are right though, hence the reason for the donation widget ;)
