Spam Control


Why We Can't Have Nice Things

“
Res Ipsa Loquitor


I take it that I was the last blog on earth that didn't require a CAPTCHA drill to comment.  Starting last week the number of daily spam messages went from 2-3 a day to 2-3 dozen.  That tells me that I have "SUCKER" written on my forehead, so for the next month we're back to that hurdle.  Sorry.  The misspellings in these spam indicate Oriental origin, so the odds are that it's more mischief by the Red Commie Yellow Horde. Why we can't have nice things anymore.

    ...noticed an up-tick of it on leelu's place last week. (Nothing as massive as a widely-read blog as yours, I'm sure.) Noticed mine were on older posts, so I just enabled comment moderation for older posts.

    But, as Juice says...

    (Good thing I got new glasses!)

    Much better than your last try which had a background that obscured the text.

    One site uses a "complete a simple math equation" filter but that would keep both robots and lib-tards out.

    Gives me a chance to rethink my dumb comments as I enter and re-enter the Captcha stuff I cant seem to read. And you can forget any drunk responses

    if you refresh the captcha enough, you'll eventually find one you can actually almost read.

    This is a Blogger Captcha deal. The only control I have over it is to turn it on and off.

    It makes it hard to drink and comment Rodge, lucky me.

    It's a small annoyance to get rid of a larger one.

    Pretty sure the Pied Piper of Hamlin town had a brother in law with a rat farm.

    nothing like creating a product and then creating a demand for it....

    Think anti-virus software....
