How do you feel about having to register to comment? [poll]
Most blogs are setup to allow anyone to make a comment on a post without having to have an account. However, some blogs are trying to create communities and require visitors to register for a free account in order to leave a comment. Sometimes this registration has other additional benefits, like forum participation, other times it doesn’t.

Having to register isn’t a major problem for me, although it’s a little irritating. However, it better have a system where I can be remembered pretty indefinitely. Having to log in (or SEARCH for my log in information) is very likely to dissuade me from participating in comments.
I don’t like blogs that required to be register. But i do register to my daily reading blogs like Lifehacker. But small or personal blog that need to be registered in order to comment is asking too much, IMHO.
A blog it’s not really a blog if it makes commenting difficult.
I don’t like to register at all. However, when I feel that my words could help others, or when I need to correct someone who is seriously wrong about something, I do register. The same happens to me with Digg, I hate to login, but do so when I need to add a comment.
I never register at blog, so I never comment the ones that require it. But I still continue to read their blog - if it’s good!
