By the way, I just realized that comments are for logged in users only and registration is disabled and I can’t figure out how to get them right again. I don’t mean to shut down conversation! I’m trying to figure out exactly where it is that I can allow user self-registration. (Unfortunately, because of spammers, I can’t totally open comments– since I loathe captchas, they are not an option for me.)

Edited: I found it. It was under general, rather than discussion, in options. For now, I have enabled people to comment without registering, but commenters must have at least one approved comment before comments will appear automatically. At least, that’s how I hope it will work!

  1. Might I suggest Spam Karma 2? That, and reasonable limits on moderation (e.g., WordPress defaults–anything with more than one link goes into moderation, for example), might work. They’ve worked for me, pretty well so far.

    Note: WP’s “first comment must be approved” option doesn’t always seem to work, at least hasn’t on my weblog. Otherwise, it’s a particularly good if slightly time-consuming option.

  2. Thanks for the suggestion! I’m giving it a try now.

It sounds like SK2 has recently been updated on this blog. But not fully configured. You MUST visit Spam Karma's admin page at least once before letting it filter your comments (chaos may ensue otherwise).
