Need help sorting out how to use 23? Or have you discovered one of those nasty bugs?

Non-23-users cannot comment on my photos

Hello,

in my options I chose that everyone can comment on my photos but obviously it does not work for non-23-users at the moment. I can remember that it worked some time ago. Were there some changes I did not noticed?
I would like my friends to be able to comment on my photos.

Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

It was actually a consequence of the recent spam attacks we've suffered, and we simply killed the ability to comment anonymously. I'm hoping we have scared away most of the spammers, so I have reenabled comments from everyone (if enable under Settings).

While I consider it an advantage that users can comment without becoming members, it means that spam is starting to creep again. :(
This time as album comments, which are not as exposed as "normal" comments and which makes me wonder if they're not going through the same filters as other comments or forum posts.
Examples: http://www.23hq.com/nachbarnebenan/album/6913312 and http://www.23hq.com/nachbarnebenan/album/7421818 both probably by the same person.

Steffen, could you please add a "mark as spam" link to album comments as well?
