Codex Documentation Error "Restrict Posts to registered users"?

    Perhaps I have something that has altered my dashboard? I want to limit comments to registered users, on the link below it has instructions to do just that in Settings>General>

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Combating_Comment_Spam#Restrict_Comments_to_Registered_Users

    It states the following:

    Restrict Comments to Registered Users

    If you allow only registered users to comment, you can restrict comments to only registered users.
    ◾ Go to the Settings > General panel
    ◾ Under Membership:, select Users must be registered and logged in to comment.

    In my dashboard I do not have that option. I have checked on a couple of hosted sites I own and neither have the option.

    SC.

    Ah, that was moved to Settings -> Discussion a long time ago, thanks!

    With that said though, unless you want to also worry about tons of spam registrations, I highly recommend “Comment author must have a previously approved comment” instead.
