Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

This simple WordPress plugin prevents a “non registered” commentator to use the identity (login or e-mail address) of a registered user. It gives the anonymous user a choice of loging in, registering, or choosing another identity.

Don’t let them steal your online identity!

One limitation of vanilla WordPress is that it lets anyone register comments using any identity they like.

It does not enforce unicity of commentator’s apparent identity.

More preoccupying, anyone can use another person’s login as their commentator identity.

This plugin fixes that. In order to post comments under a registered user’s identity, it will enforce that you are logged-on.

Otherwise, you will have to either log-in, or choose another identity for posting your comment.

Compatible with PHP5.

“Tested up to” is directory metadata supplied by the plugin author. WP PlugIndex does not turn an older declaration into a claim that the plugin is incompatible.
