Description
We're using the AddComment macro in appendonly mode at LinAdd.org and we've noticed a surge in spam comments, so we turned off the appendonly option, thus (as we thought) requiring a user to be logged in to be able to post a comment. However, the following URL will post a comment regardless:

Other than that, thanks for a great macro! /Lars Stavholm

The [2818] changeset adds the regular form_token to the form, making it a bit harder to automate spam entry and similar.
About permissions in general, if anonymous has WIKI_VIEW then appendonly will let them add comments. Makes sense, and it should be a easier to read that in the code now.
The fix is working for 0.11, but I don't expect that it will be fixed for older versions now.
Closing.
