This is a good idea. JS Authentication.

I just had this idea while browsing a site. A lot of blogs don't allow you to post comments unless you're logged in. This is often a result of spammers and dadada.

Either you can make this or I will:

A Javascript anonymous user detection to allow them the option of posting comments. This should be done because there are a lot of sites I read often, but just don't care to sign up for. There are often things I'd comment on, but I still don't want to register.

How would it work?
A Javascript timer could be set for a minimum time of 60-90 seconds on a site. After which time, it sends a signal to the server saying that this session is actually valid proving that someone is on the site scrolling the page and reading. Then it shows, "Oh hey, this is actually a person and not a bot that's viewing this page. Let em post."

That's all.
Bye.
