 * Perhaps I have something that has altered my dashboard? I want to limit comments
   to registered users, on the link below it has instructions to do just that in
   Settings>General>
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Combating_Comment_Spam#Restrict_Comments_to_Registered_Users](http://codex.wordpress.org/Combating_Comment_Spam#Restrict_Comments_to_Registered_Users)
 * It states the following:
 * > Restrict Comments to Registered Users
   > If you allow only registered users to comment, you can restrict comments to
   > only registered users.
   >  ◾ Go to the Settings > General panel ◾ Under Membership:,
   > select Users must be registered and logged in to comment.
 * In my dashboard I do not have that option. I have checked on a couple of hosted
   sites I own and neither have the option.
 * SC.

 * Ah, that was moved to Settings -> Discussion a long time ago, thanks!
 * With that said though, unless you want to also worry about tons of spam registrations,
   I highly recommend “Comment author must have a previously approved comment” instead.
