AKiCiF: LJ edition

[rolanni]

Edited to add:  Field testing has verified that anonymous posting is working as it should from the LJ side.  Thanks to mbarker  and sbsulliv for their help!


Frequent auditors of this journal will recall that last year it, with many other LJ accounts, became the target of fake Gucci handbag spam.

My first step was to direct LJ to hold Anonymous posts until I could approve them, one-by-one, by hand.  I turned Anonymous posting off completely for the several weeks last August when Steve and I were traveling.  A couple weeks after we got back, I reset to the previous Anonymous posting situation, and there we've been for nearly a year.

I hear from a reader of this journal who doesn't care to create a Live Journal, Facebook, or Google Whatsis Account, that she can no longer comment here as Anonymous. 

The settings for this journal are:

Enable comments:  everyone
Comment screening: Screen anonymous content before showing to others

What else do I need to do to allow Anonymous posting to this journal without throwing it wide open to the internet to flood with spam?

Abundant Spanish Aunts.

This is an anonymous posting. It says I am anonymous, anyway. I logged out, and LJ doesn't know who I am right now. Just a test.

Well, let me know if my experimental anonymous posting didn't make it. But it certainly looked as if it did. Screened, and warned me that you would be looking at it.

Seems to be working...

I am a read-only person, no LJ user - let's see if it let's me post..

Thank you -- and, obviously, it's working as it ought from this end.
