I checked my user list, but there are no spam accounts registered. I was debating un-checking the "Anyone can register" box, in which case any time a new reader wanted to leave comments theyd have to be moderated first.

I am worried though about compatibility with the AJAXified comment system that comes with K2. both are checked already - what I can’t figure out is how spambots are able to leave comments anyway.
