I think the blog is set up just fine thank you very much. We also use Akismet, although obviously that's not apparent from the outside. As for your comment, I think that it's pretty clear that if you think that problems are better solved without a union that you don't see the value in it. So I stand by my list. Of course there is an element of personal bias - as I say in the post, facts relevant to our case are few and far between, which only leaves personal opinions as a reason for decision making. It would be foolish to discount unionisation as a means to address the issues we have based on personal bias, just as it would be foolish to assume that unionisation would solve all of our problems.

A) you should NOT be allowing any random person to register an account, in 99% of cases it's not a feature you want, and it's been a source of Wordpress hacks a number of times B) you shouldn't need to force people to have an account before they can comment; if you're worried about spam use akisment or spam karma.
