For guests to have member permission is a open to spam but if you are happy enough with that you can register a user as guest with guest as the password and make that info available. You can then set whatever permissions you like for the [guest]
or more smoothly see

People already can post anonoyus comments. Under collection -> Features -> Comments, I have set 'Comment Posting By' to 'Any User'. However, they don't get the option to 'reply to this comment'.
Prefer not to create a account just to get this working. So it's normal for anonymous users not to be able to reply to a threaded comment then? I find this weird as there are no permissions I can find to set or change that can add or remove this feature.
Yeah, know about the problem with spam. So far so good touch wood.

I don't know, but clearly something you have a use for
So collection [ Features > Comments > Feedback options > Comment posting by > Check > Any user] only allows an initial comment on a post but no comments on the comments?
In a forum skin every reply is a post that looks like a comment so maybe it's a skin issue.
Do you want to split comments to a post into separate threads?

Hi @agent_kith @amoun,
Only logged in user are allowed to reply. This is programmed in the core, so it's not an skin issue. I still don't get why it is done this way, but I bet there is a good reason that I'm just missing right now.
Regards!

Maybe I'm missing something here. I've just set up a new collection(forum style) and can leave repeated comments to a post as a visitor?
The strange thing is I can only see the comments once I've posted a new reply
I know it's open to spam but you can try http://calstock.org.uk/index.php/forums/test
I'll check for spam and leave for a day or two if not dumped on

You can set the default status to "Draft" or "Review" instead of "Publish". Will still get spammed, but at least it's not published.
Back to the topic, you need to set the comment system as 'threaded mode'. And when you do, as a logged in member, you'd see the 'Reply to this comment' URL as shown in the 2nd post of this thread. Non signed in users don't get to see that at all.
i.e. they can comment on the blog article, but not on the comments.

@agent_kith Probably not? A typical blog's comments will either be a comment to the blog article, or comment on comments?
Oh! Ah! Sh! I'm clearly not with it
isn't "i.e. they can comment on the blog article, but not on the comments." the same as you wanting to split comments to a post into separate threads? i.e. a thread of comments on each and every comment.
@agent_kith sounds like a bug / inconsistency if anonymous users can add new comments but not add replies to existing comments. We'll look into it.
@amoun the problem is with threaded comments: 3rd line here on this settings panel: http://b2evolution.net/man/comment-viewing-options

Thanks for looking into it.
Ok, should be fixed in 6.9.5.

Every widget loads correctly, only "Item Single -> Item Content" is fixed.. e.g. if I have 3 blog artlcles (A, B and C). and B has thread comments.
Clicking A will show title of A but with content of B. Same with C.
Disable threaded comments and the contents are displayed correctly now.
Ignore above striked text. Threaded comment works and the problem I have isn't related to this change. The bug appears to be with PHP caching. I'd file another report in the bug section later.
