Sorry Guests

Sorry, but I have had it with the incessant spam comments on the blog. Every morning I wake up and come on and there are 10 spam advertising comments “awaiting my approval”. Last night I was thinking and came up with an idea. Until advertising sites decide to take my site off their list (esp. adult sites), I will force users to be logged in to comment. You will have to use our forum login system to be able to post comments, ever since we linked the forum and the blog. This will hopefully reduce spam comments to almost nothing *crosses fingers*

You could force unregistered users to enter the correct text into catpcha…that would knock off some spam bots at least.

Yeah, but this is simpler. It also gives users one more reason to register at our site :)

I think the latter reason you gave is the more prevelent one. ;)

I also have no idea (or time to figure out) how to put one in. There is probably a plugin, but this way is better for us and everyone else, cause you don’t need to have 20 GMVision.tv accounts.
