no more anon
So with comment moderation enabled, I was still getting 7-10 comments a day from 'anonymous'. Still not wanting to deal with that, and still not wanting to enable word verification, I have now prohibited anonymous comments.
For those of you who in the past have posted anonymously that I have appreciated your anonymous post, I am sorry to say I have had to disable your future ability to post due to spammers.
For those of you who already use an account when you comment, you will continue to be able to comment unhindered.

Can I pretend to be anonymous?
Certainly, simply preface your comment with an anonymous indicator and then I will put a post-it note on the screen to cover your name so that I will no longer know it is you.
waaaah! I want to be anonymous too.
i was wondering what was going on.
Maybe in seven or thirteen months I will try enabling anonymous posting again to see if the spammers have dropped this site. I far prefer the idea of allowing anonymous comments so as to invite people who don't want themselves known to comment, but when 99% of those comments are spam, and the number of them exceeds a threshold, I feel I have no choice but to disable this option.
