joshua stein e6c74e8251 add moderation logging

- add users.is_moderator and look at that for most things, not
is_admin

- make default user in readme be a moderator

- log moderator actions in story edits, comment
  deletions/undeletions (and later, user disabling).

- remove ability for moderators to edit comments, there's really no
  reason to.

###Lobsters Rails Project

This is the source code to the site operating at https://lobste.rs. It is a Rails 3 codebase and uses a SQL (MySQL in production) backend for the database and Sphinx for the search engine.

####Initial setup

Install Ruby 1.9.3.

Checkout the lobsters git tree from Github

   $ git clone git://github.com/jcs/lobsters.git
   $ cd lobsters
   lobsters$

Run Bundler to install/bundle gems needed by the project:
```
   lobsters$ bundle
```

Create a MySQL (other DBs supported by ActiveRecord may work, only MySQL has been tested) database, username, and password and put them in a config/database.yml file:

    development:
      adapter: mysql2
      encoding: utf8
      reconnect: false
      database: lobsters_dev
      socket: /tmp/mysql.sock
      username: *username*
      password: *password*

    test:
      adapter: sqlite3
      database: db/test.sqlite3
      pool: 5
      timeout: 5000

Load the schema into the new database:
```
    lobsters$ rake db:schema:load
```

Create a config/initializers/secret_token.rb file:

    Lobsters::Application.config.secret_token = 'some 128-bit hexadecimal secret here'

(Optional, only needed for search engine) Install Sphinx. Build Sphinx config and start server:
```
    lobsters$ rake thinking_sphinx:rebuild
```

Create an initial administrator user and at least one tag:

    lobsters$ rails console
    Loading development environment (Rails 3.2.6)
    irb(main):001:0> u = User.new(:username => "test", :email => "test@example.com", :password => "test")
    irb(main):002:0> u.is_admin = true
    irb(main):002:0> u.is_moderator = true
    irb(main):003:0> u.save

    irb(main):004:0> t = Tag.new
    irb(main):005:0> t.tag = "test"
    irb(main):006:0> t.save

The default development hostname is defined as lobsters.localhost:3000. You should define this in /etc/hosts (or through DNS) to point to 127.0.0.1.
Run the Rails server in development mode. You should be able to login to http://lobsters.localhost:3000 with your test user:
```
    lobsters$ rails server
```
