- With commit e1a1fc0 and b2f2fb3 a comment is blocked by default until the FlatPress admin approves it. Background: We're glad that not every blog operator takes an unused blog offline - that's advertising for us. However, it's bad publicity if that orphaned blog has been flooded with spam comments (#101).
