Anonymous comments will no longer be allowed. The reason for this decision is that lately I have been overwhelmed with spam-comments and that 99.8 % of those who comment anonymously are spammers.
To those of you who have earlier made legitimate comments anonymously I kindly suggest you get a Google Account or some other Open-ID account, as all comments from Registered Users will be allowed. You can choose any name you wish for yourself through these services.
I don´t understand this problem. Almost ALL of spamcomments that are anonymous get caught in Bloggers own spamfilter. At least for me. I just finnished deleting close to 6000 such comments caught that way.
ReplyDeleteApmel, it used to be like that for me too, but suddenly a lot of the spam-comments aren't caught by spam filter. You are also protected by the word verification option that you have set in your comment options.
ReplyDeleteI refuse to use word verification because it makes it literally impossible - or at least extremely difficult - to comment on the clogs that use that option.
Bock, I did the same thing last week independently! I have been filtering so many anonymous spam comments out -- mostly from sleazy loan companies - it was driving me nuts. I have no more now that people must sign in.
