 * I must be blind- I can’t find an option in the 0.72 version of wordpress that’ll
   let me disable anonymous comments. Could someone post me a method? That’d be 
   super. 🙂

 * Dangit you’re right. And I had it set “properly.” What I have is some nimrod 
   putting “anonymous” and a fake email address in the form. 🙁

 * well if u want to moderate comment, 1.xx is the way to go.
    pick the latest nightly
   from [http://wordpress.org/nightly/](http://wordpress.org/nightly/)

 * Is there any way to require users to register on your site before posting comments?
   They might still enter a fake address, but it would make it a little harder to
   post anonymously.

 * What I would like is to be able to require a username, but not a password. Is
   this possible?

 * Yes, will the ability to require users to register before posting comments be
   added soon? I have a problem on my site with anonymous posters using spoofed 
   addresses, ips, and even browsers to post spam advertisements to it. It gets 
   somewhat annoying to have to delete 20 comments a day from this fake person (
   ads for gambling, prescription drugs, etc!)

 * Just look around for “comment spam” (i.e. do a search!)
    then you can go to this
