I have to. I'm sometimes away from the blog and even the Internet for several hours at a time, and with traffic increasing, I think there's a better chance of being hit with comment spam. Sean - thanks for the ideas there. I'll keep an eye on those numbers for sure. Dave (Hawaii) — I think I’ll always require login/registration. I have to.

A side benefit is these two tactics assembled in series are likely to increase site visits to feed reader ratio. I'm interested to hear how this affects your visits to the site over time. You might want to publicize this in some way graphically to let new visitors know your policy as well. Matt:

Btw, I don't think spam will ever get their hand here because of the registration requirement. That gives me a stronger reason to comment.

After opening commenting in this way, spam in comments would be serious problem.

I got rid of the nofollow a long time ago as well. Now all you need to do is get rid of the need to log in requirement. It's one less roadblock for spontaneous folks like me who are top commenter's on several blogs. I love threaded comments. I also like the my avatars plugin. It helps people who comment get to know each other. Sweet! I got rid of the nofollow a long time ago as well.
