I am very strongly consdiering moving my community blog (OrangePolitics.org) to WP. I can’t find any information about the various user levels. Would WP allow me to require registration for commenters?
New users can register with wp-register.php. Then you (as an admin) click the “+” next to their name on the Team page in admin to upgrade their level to 1 or more, so they can post. If you don’t want an user to post anymore, just click “-” until their level is 0.
Note: you can now disable users registration altogether from the config file.
User Levels
* 0 – new user: can’t post.
* 1 – user: can post & edit/delete their own posts.
* 3 & higher – admin: can post, edit/delete other people’s posts, and change the options.
* Any user whose level is higher than 1, can edit/delete the posts and change the level of users whose level is inferior. Example: a level 2 user is not an admin, but can edit the posts of level 1 users, and up the level of a new user from 0 to 1.
Usually, you’ll want to have a team of only level 1 users except you.
Comment registration is not built into the WordPress code yet. You will need to find a hack to do that (I dont know of one for 1.2 yet)

Hope this information is somewhat useful.
