New checkbox plug-ins.
| March 21st, 2007I’ve added two new checkbox plug-ins.1
The first is a “subscribe to comments” plug-in (I’ve had this one before, but it got dropped at some point and was never restored). This is one I’ve found useful when I’ve left comments on a blog that I don’t visit often.
The second is the Comment Rules Wordpress Plugin, which Daran of “Feminist Critics” created by modifying an already-existing plugin.2 Here’s a picture of the new plugin at work:
Because this notice appears right by the comments box - rather than dozens of screenfuls of comments away, which is where the old notice appeared — I think this should limit or eliminate the problem of non-feminists forgetting about the rule in the longer threads. It’ll also take some burden off of the moderators to enforce the rule, since I think the checkbox requirement will make it more self-enforcing.
Many thanks to Daran; especially considering his idealogical aversion (to put it mildly) to feminism, it was extremely generous of him to make this plugin at my request.
- I’ve also added a third plugin, which will mean more pingbacks will be registered, but it means I have to register “Alas” with Technorati. In order to do that, I need to put this link in a post temporarily: Technorati Profile. Just ignore that link, please. (back)
- The already-existing plugin Daran modified was Comment Policy Wordpress Plugin, by George Notaras. (back)

Amp, I think the mechanism is great, but I have to say I find the check box paragraph extremely problematical. How is a commenter (especially a new one) supposed to determine what the poster does and doesn’t think of the commenter’s views (short of reading minds)? Wouldn’t a simple checklist be more straightforward (i.e. “you’re considered a feminist here and welcome to comment if you agree with all of the following…”)?

So now my own plugin is being used to bar me from commenting on Alas.
I am complicit in my own oppression. ;-)

And further, you apparently were an active agent in that oppression.
It’s almost as if the theory-of-oppression has some holes in it… ;)
