Anonymous Posters Take Note

[rolanni]

I'm sorry, folks.  It was OK for a couple of weeks, but the viagra and handbag spam are back -- this time in Russian. I can't keep up with shutting them down, so -- Anonymous commenting is going to be turned off as soon as I hit "Post" on this message.

If you want to comment here, you'll need to get a free LJ account, or a Facebook account, or a Google Circles account or a...Merchant ID? account?  A discussion of the various non-anonymous methods of posting here would be welcome, since I'm clearly not informed.

I understand that many regular anonymous posters have strong feelings about not signing up for this or that or the other thing, and I have tried to accomodate that, but at this point -- no can do.

Thank you for your understanding.

I suspect you may be thinking of OpenID - see the Wikipedia article. Dreamwidth is an OpenID source, Wikipedia also lists Google, Yahoo!, PayPal, BBC, AOL, MySpace, IBM, Steam, Sherdog, Orange and VeriSign.

IIRC, one of my friends set up his home server to handle OpenID requests. I may have to check sometime to see how impossible it is.

Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking of! Thank you.
