I have been experimenting with the removal of word moderation on this blog for five months now, and whilst the reminders of my old blog entries by random spam merchants has at least allowed me to recollect some of the more interesting memories of the past seven years, my patience has finally run out.
So, it is with a heavy heart that I turn CAPTCHA back on.
Sorry, Jennie...
I think that you can limit which posts have comments activated to minimise spam. For example only posts from the last 2 weeks could be the only ones active. Also, I found that removing anonymous comments totally stopped my spam flood.
ReplyDeleteJust saying this because CAPTCHA is so terrible. I have started using a great program called RUMOLA (skipinput.com if you want to try it) which reads and fills in CAPTCHAs for me automatically but, not everyone is so lucky and it does reduce comments which, I think, is the most fun thing about blogging :)
