Comments now require registration

I have changed the comment settings so that only registered users can post on this blog. I haven't run into trolling issues yet but I figured that would eventually happen if I didn't set this up. Also, with the demise of Casey's brother's blog, I would expect more people to show up here looking for a new place to hang out.

Note that you don't have to register specifically with a Google account. It can be with other accounts including those with LiveJournal, WordPress, TypePad, AIM, or OpenID. If you don't have an account through any of these sites, I encourage you to take a few minutes of your time to set it up.

At this time, anyone who registers an account will be allowed to make a post. That may eventually change, but there are aspects of an invitation-only blog which I think might be too time-intensive for me to deal with. There will be some occasions where I won't be checking my e-mail or other accounts for 4-5 days at a time, so inviting people into the blog could be occasionally frustrating on both sides. So I'd like to table that issue for now.

One more thing before I end this post....I haven't set up rules for ways you can get your posts kicked off the blog. I would just ask that you use common sense and be respectful to each other when you want to say something. Of course those rules don't apply when you're talking about Casey Serin the serial grifter. Thanks in advance.
