Lately I've seen a TON of comments from anons insulting other users, and I have to go through the trouble of having to remove disrespectful comments, closing comments, this just adds more work for us. I'm wondering if there's a way to actually ensure that comments can only be made by registered users (New Users have to wait). I'm wondering if there's a way that we can get this "sordid affair" under control. If that anon is actually the same anon who's been using multiple IP addresses, then would it be possible to invoke an IP Ban? Or would it be best to (for the love of alleviating such attacks) require users to register an account before posting comments (as well as editing articles)?

Something to be aware about.
