bye bye anonymous.

Sorry to my readers who use the anonymous option to enter your comments. I don't have a problem with allowing people to use it, but apparently I have been getting a flood of spam comments (including pornography links) and therefore have to sacrifice true comments to keep those nasty ones out.

If anyone knows a way around this, let me know.

Rachel,
This is Giann, Ruth's friend, and you can still have anonymous comments just have the word verification or moderate them. That is what I do.

There's a "Moderate Comments" option where you can moderate any posts over a certain number of days old. Since most spam comments come on old blog posts, that prevents 99% of spam, without having to use word verification or do away with anonymous. I can't TELL you how happy I was when I found this. It's under Settings --> Comments.
