A Minor Milestone.. in Spam!
Well today, apart from the big news from the US about Barack Obama becoming the president elect of the USA, I hit a bit of a milestone. This wordpress blog hit its 100th SPAM comment this morning. Well I was excited.
It also got me thinking about my comment system and why my tiny blog is seeing 100 spam comments… and more importantly why I have to go through and SPAM these comments! (btw I actually moderate every comment so It goes into a queue before it goes either onwards… or to the bin) I’ve never wanted to add those word image captcha’s or anything complicated like that as in my experience they are irritating at best.
So what can I do? Well I’ll be taking a look at all the options and then creating a new post with my findings very soon.
