Sure, I can check "mark all for spam" when I moderate comments, but some of the real feedback will be deleted by accident. It's simply getting ridiculous. Now with the log-in requirement, the spam won't even reach here, and I sure as hell don't need to delete it manually. It's the same reason some sites ask you to type letters/numbers to prove you are human nowadays.</strong> I think you’d need to approve before the comments can come out and you would moderate them.
