This will really be helpfull.

I always thought the WordPress comment restriction of only allowing comments from users with a previously approved comment was a phenomenally good idea. Would people be interested in that kind of feature?

Hi Claire,

Wouldn't that make the process more work for IT staff and slow down the process of first posts for newbies.

Would working the concept of  "OR license ownership" into the mix work more efficiently?

Hi Jerry

It does make more work, up to a point, but it's a good compromise between preventing spam while also letting legitimate users comment normally. Useful in that you only need to approve a user once, and all their comments after that are automatically allowed through. And yeah, if you combine it with other identifying methods, it does get more efficient.

Another option would be to use Disqus or Livefyre if you want a completely hands-off solution.

It's just another way to integrate comments into a site - there are a few commercial comment systems that you can add to any site, and they would have their own anti-spam methods.

There's also automated spam control, maybe something like Akismet or Mollom.

Hi Claire,

I'm sure that which ever solution you decide to go with will be the right choice.

Best,
