Turned off the 'users must be logged in to comment' but they still have to

    People still can’t comment without logging in, even thought i have turned off the ‘users must be logged in to comment’. What can I do?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    _Comment author must fill out name and e-mail
    _Users must be registered and logged in to comment

    Note that the prompt will still appear but providing an email address and logging in are not required. There is no way for us bloggers to remove the prompt. It’s up to us to post instructions if we wish to tell the world that the blog comments can comment anonymously.

    Frankly, there’s no way I would ever set up anonymous commenting on my blogs because I’m aware that (1) the vast and overwhelming majority of all information on the internet is spam; and (2) that over 80% of the so-called comments submitted to free hosted WordPress.com blog every day are spam.
