Hi folks,

I'm getting unwanted Komento posts by "guests." These may be bots or real-life spammers, I don't know. Anyhow, how can I turn off posting by guests? I tried adding CAPTCHA but it didn't seem to make a difference; I was still able to post a test comment without doing the CAPTCHA test.

Thanks for your help! StackIdeas rules!

Hello JH,

I've helped you disable this ACL setting: http://screencast.com/t/QhCH6BjaYfq and guest should not be able to add comment now. Please verify this. Make sure you are not logged in to the frontend in order to test.

Hi

I am actually trying to "enable" guest posts in the ACL settings for guests I have "add comments" set to yes but all at the bttom of each article is "You don't have permission to view or post comments"

eg. http://www.gamblingwatchuk.org/campaigns

I have just upgraded from 2.0.4 to 2.0.5. Prior to this, all was OK

Thanks, Paul
