Go to:
1. http://greenchilly.in/web/postsfull/1/
2. Added one comment "Why is the Comment Looking like a Post Card"
and then added "What is this box for?" next to Post Comment.

Pressed Post Comment.


Comment post not allowed (400)
Why: The comment form failed security verification: <ul
class="errorlist"><li>honeypot<ul
class="errorlist"><li>If you enter anything in this
field your comment will be treated as spam</li></ul></
li></ul>

The comment you tried to post to this view wasn't saved because
something tampered with the security information in the comment form.
The message above should explain the problem, or you can check the
comment documentation for more help.

You're seeing this error because you have DEBUG = True in your Django
settings file. Change that to False, and Django will display a
standard 400 error page.

that is not a bug - it is a honeypot meant to catch spammers. Spammers try to
fill in all fields in a form while humans do not usually fill in fields that are
not labelled. (no reflection on you as you are trying to debug)
