June 8

Hi all, hope you're well. Short log today, I spent most of what productive time I could find in the last few weeks on the AI paper, which alas, sadly turned out to be something of a waste of time.

I have a lot of medical appointments and some jaw surgery this month (nothing major - have to get a wisdom tooth out, near a nerve so hopefully there won't be any complications). Will eat into my available time, so I doubt I'll get that much done this month, but we'll see.

Regardless, I'll try to make another update in a week if I can, otherwise in two weeks. I need to try and get myself back into the swing of the development for the site.

Moderation and reports

I’ve realised that no matter what happens, it’s best to implement some kind of backend moderation interface; at *some* point the site would eventually need more than just me to moderate it, so it makes sense to properly implement a moderation system that accommodates for multiple moderators.

As such, I've started making the backend pages for reviewing new accounts and resolving reports. The main design challenge here is what format to keep records in; e.g. if a submission has to be changed to comply with rules, how to store a kind of moderator-edit-history. Shouldn't be difficult, right now I just need to actually *do* stuff.

I've cleaned up the document I have with the list of things to implement, and at this point there's very few actual 'features' left to implement: mostly it's full of little things, various forms and styling fixes and so forth. I probably need to try and sort it into a more proper list of tasks so it's easier to work on.
