Auto Create User Account for People Leaving Comments

  • Hey all.
    Did some searching on Google and on here, not found anything that covers my requirements.

    I want to leave comments open (meaning users do not need to register before leaving a comment), but I want it to ‘create’ their user account when they leave a comment.

    So user comes to post
    Wants to leave a comment
    Can log in to do so
    Or they can just enter their details and comment
    A password would be mailed to them etc as usual

    Essentially the user account is created as they leave their comment.

    Is this possible?

    Regards,
    Dave

    Anyone? ??

    to be honest man….I wouldn’t want that on any site. as any wordpress, blog, or site of any kind grows, you are going to get more and more comment spam. You can install all the preventative measures you want and someone will find a way around it. If all someone has to do to register for a site is leave a comment, I could see someone finding a way to hack or cause some kind of issue that way. If you want to leave your comments open, thats great, but keep it all separate from registrations.

    I see where you are coming from, but, can’t they already just submit the register form instead? ?? As I see it, all i am wanting to do is perform the “register” function and the “comment” function at the same time? ?? These are currently one form submit away on all basic wordpress installs ??

    So, anywho, back to my question… how can I add a commenting person as a user when they leave their first comment? ??

    if there is no way / nothing about then fair enough ??
