Can anybody please tell me WHY I have to log-in before my comments can be posted. This is only when I use an email address attached to mny WP account. When I use another email addres which is not attached to a WP account my comments are posted immediastely. This does not make sense in any way.

The blog I need help with is skalkskryf.wordpress.com.

Yes, I have read that sticky post. Unfortunately it only answeres the question: “Do I have to log in in order to post a comment?” It simply states that one has to login – no reason given.

My question is WHY is it necessary to login. Is there any reasoning behind it? Is it of any benefit to anybody? Is it a requirement by the Chinese government? Does it make WP more secure against hacking attacks? What?

I find it extremely frustrating to log in. Especially if I am already logged in and WordPress informs me that the email address is incorrect.
