# Remove Guest Comments

 * I’ve got Jetpack installed, and have enabled comments, but I want to disable 
   Guest comments, and only use the jetpack logons. But I can’t find the option 
   to disable guest comments. I’ve tried enabling “Users must be registered” but
   I get the message users need to logon, and the jetpack comment box disappears.
   Am I missing something obvious?
 * Jetpack page says ” Guest commenting is still controlled by the options in Settings
   → Discussion; if you disable guest commenting, visitors will not be able to use
   this option in Jetpack Comments.” But where?
 * Thanks

 * That’s the option you’re looking for. Once you enable that option, Jetpack’s 
   Comment form will only be visible for logged in users. Logged out users will 
   see a message inviting them to log in.
 * To make things clearer, when we’re speaking about guest comments in WordPress,
   there are only 2 options, whether you use Jetpack Comments or the default comment
   form:
    - Either you allow everyone to comment; that’s the default setting.
    - Either you restrict commenting to users logged in to your WordPress site. 
      Logged users (guests) won’t be able to comment. Logging in with Facebook, 
      Twitter, or any other commenting option offered by Jetpack’s Comment form 
      isn’t possible, since none of these logins happen on your site, and WordPress
      consequently has no way of verifying these users’ identity. They’re consequently
      considered as guests.
 * I hope this helps!
