Wildwood - Commenting on spouts should be made easier. Not everyone has a Facebook account to reply from. Instead of making a comment, everyone just creates a new spout to reply. Can this be rectified in some manner? Sometimes you have to back track pages to find the original spout the reply was made to.

Moderator's Note:

Requiring Facebook authentication in order to comment on spouts opens up the forum to more constructive comments and helps eliminate spam. This is a standard practice across the Internet and a large number of media websites require Facebook authentication to comment. To clarify, you do not need to use your Facebook credentials to comment on articles, just on spouts. If you're searching for a previous spout, you may enter a keyword or search term into the box labeled 'Search Spout Off' on the Spout Off page.
