Forum:Restrict commenting to registered users?

I would like to restrict commenting on articles to only registered users. Is there a way to do this? --Juicestain09 15:25, February 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes but it is restricted to only cases of extreme vandalism and spam. Otherwise there is no way to do so.--
 * There is a way to restrict only comments? I thought you could only restrict all editing to only registered users. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 8 Feb 2012 3:19 PM Pacific
 * The only way to prevent users from adding comments is to block them from creating pages in general since creating a comment technically equates to creating a new page. Godisme is also correct in saying that we prefer this be reserved for extreme measures. --daNASCAT http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 04:45, February 9, 2012 (UTC)
