Only registered users posting blog comments

Hi, I am trying, for a while now, to find out, how to restrict access to blog-article's comments. I would very much like to allow comments only for registered users (to force them to register of course), but I could not find that option. Is this possible? And if not could you please move this to feature requests? Thank you very much.

Re: Only registered users posting blog comments

This is a good idea and would be easy enough to do so I will add it to my near term to do list. In general though I've been on hold for doing any enhancements to the blog comments because I plan to build a better comment system that can be used across features and then swap it out to the new system in the blog when the new comment system is ready.

But this will be easy so I will go ahead and do it since it may be a few months before the new comment system is ready. In this case if the user is authenticated we won't need the captcha so I will hide it when this setting is enabled.

Best,

Joe

It might be better, if there were an option to hide / force the captcha to logged users.

Thank you

Re: Only registered users posting blog comments

Ok, I'll keep the settings separate, though I can't really see myself ever doing that if the user is signed in its not a spam bot and it will just annoy the user for no reason.

Best,

Joe
