A similar question is why there are so many bloggers who needs me to fill in my email address in the comment form...
I understand that it is the default settings of most blogging software, but that doesn't make it right :-)
If anyone can come up with a single valid reason why the information should be mandatory, it would at least ease my frustration.
- noodle 18y agoi'm not here to defend wordpress or their choices. i don't think that the information should be mandatory. but there are some features that make use of the comment's email address. i imagine askimet uses it.
- azharcs 18y agoOne of the important reasons why email should be entered in the comment form is to let the blogger know who commented on his post and if if blogger wants to get back to the commenter, he could with the help of mail-id. If you actually think about it, comments are the only thing which actually connects the blogger and their readers. With the help of mail-id, connection only becomes more stronger.
