I’ve had to change my WordPress options today to require registration and log-in before readers can comment here. I usually have to delete 50-100 comments a day queued fairly harmlessly in “moderation,” but when I get 2365 instances of comment spam in a day, such that my browser crashes in the attempt to select them for deletion, measures must be taken :->. Those who occasionally post genuine comments, know that your responses are always appreciated here. I hate to have to put up an extra hurdle for you to jump through in order to make a comment, but the only other alternative right now is turning off comments altogether.
