Your Comments Are Welcome

I've had a handful of folks tell me lately how much they like to post comments on blogs - but they prefer not to go through a registration system (e.g., TypeKey), such as the one I use here on gavinshearer.com.

After considering it for a bit (and evaluating some of the new, anti-spam features of MovableType 3.2), I've elected to turn off registration requirements on my comments system. If you want to post, well, post away.

Two caveats. First, if you're posting without being authenticated, your comments won't appear immediately. This is because I fear "check out my online casino" posts will otherwise proliferate like wildfire.

Second, should I, indeed, find myself flooded with comment spam (as I did with trackbacks, before disabling them earlier this year), I'm going to have to lock things down again. But if y'all wanna converse, well, bring it. Here's hoping it all works as intended.

(Sigh. Spammers = bastards.)
