Comment requirements

I'm wondering how many news sites restrict comments.
npr.org requires you to register.
You can use your account with open ID, Facebook, twitter, Google, Yahoo or Linkedin.
You can also "sign up for the npr community."


The New York Times also requires registration.
They also moderate comments. I posted one (I already have a login to get alerts) just to see what would happen, and got this:
"Thank you for your submission. Comments are moderated and generally will be posted if they are on-topic and not abusive."
