> the standards | how-tos | sources

.......................................................
the standards:
 
 form:
 1) remove website field.
        in functions/comment_handling.php
 2) add location field.
        in functions/comment_handling.php
 2) textarea field - character counter
      "1800 characters available (limit is 1800 chars/300 words)" 
      plugin gregs-comment-length-limiter - shows in characters.
        using on tibetsun.
      Somewhere i have something else that shows in words. better, use that.

 comment policy:
 2) in comments.php

 privacy/security/gdpr:
 1) new (wp 4.9) "want to save name email etc for future comments?" checkbox.
      research -- has something to do with GDPR. 
      wording seems confusing to me -- change wording maybe.
 2) wording/link after form:
    <p class="akismet_comment_form_privacy_notice">This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. <a href="https://akismet.com/privacy/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Learn how your comment data is processed</a>.</p>
    (modified from automatic link made by wordpress.)
 2) math comment spam protection - plugin.
 3) link to site privacy/security page.

 general comments management:
 1) normalise functions/plugin for managing comment form.

  function remove_email_url($fields) {
    unset($fields['url']);
    unset($fields['email']);
