Then Drupal got to it, and decided to make it invalid HTML/XHTML Nonstandard Random Useless Crap.
Namely, Drupal has decided to do the "Fake Empty Element" dance. That's where valid HTML tags, like "<link>," are turned into invalid HTML tags like "<link/>."
Such a tag would be valid XML and therefore (might) be valid XHTML.
But this page doesn't use XHTML for a few very simple reasons:
This is, yet again, an attempt to write down a policy that's been in effect for quite a while.
All comments go to moderation. I will get around to checking the moderation queue - honestly. (OK, not all comments - administrators and certain "blessed" accounts - of which there are none - also get to skip the moderation queue.)
All comments are subject to a "lameness filter" that will reject comments based on programmatic filters. These are basically an attempt to block spam without requiring a captcha.
You might notice that the site is green today. Well, as it turns out, this site is literally green: Dreamhost is a "green" hosting provider:
Of course, it's only "green" due to carbon offsets, which are sort of a silly thing, but for the sake of claiming to be greener than I really am I'll leave that argument for a later day.
Dreamhost will be moving the Spacey cluster on December 1st, from approximately 6:00AM to 2:00PM GMT. This will cause this site to be down for the same period of time.
This policy has been in effect for a while but never officially typed up. Basically, user accounts used for spamming will be deleted, and any account that has never been accessed after six months will be deleted.
