I'm still going to hold out on the latter, only because I find it annoying when other bloggers do it for their sites.tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17306957535921249604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6333076.post-1143364158254478182006-03-26T01:09:00.000-08:002006-03-26T01:09:00.000-08:00Tom: Go to "settings" and then "comments."

This wouldn't necessarily stop anonymous comments, but would make it more inconvenient. <BR/><BR/>You may also want to consider <A HREF="http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=1220" REL="nofollow">moderating</A> comments, at least for a while. You can enable that feature on the "settings:comments" page as well.Bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00185866101016374785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6333076.post-1143359490278859822006-03-25T23:51:00.000-08:002006-03-25T23:51:00.000-08:00I agree, Cym.

If you can't even put an initial behind your words, why should anyone care to listen to them?<BR/><BR/> And then there's the danger of being confused for another anonymous commenter (as I seriously doubt that the above anonymous commenter is the same as the very religious commenter on the "book report" post. I don't know. maybe I'm wrong. AND THAT'S WHY PEOPLE SHOULD LEAVE NAMES!<BR/><BR/>I'm going to delete the inappropriate comments as I judge them. and if the respective commenters don't like it, it's fine by me if they stop commenting. i would hate to start moderating comments, but if i get more like this, i think i'll start. Cym, is there a way to prevent people from posting anonymously? how would that work?tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17306957535921249604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6333076.post-1143346602700661712006-03-25T20:16:00.000-08:002006-03-25T20:16:00.000-08:00Wow, how totally inappropriate these comments are....Wow, how totally inappropriate these comments are. Tom, if I were you I'd either disable anonymous comments or delete them. I mean really, how hard is it to leave a name? As far as I'm concerned, only cowards post anonymously!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6333076.post-1143337364038754842006-03-25T17:42:00.000-08:002006-03-25T17:42:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6333076.post-1143337265079040852006-03-25T17:41:00.000-08:002006-03-25T17:41:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
