Comment Moderation

I've turned full comment moderation back on. Previously, I'd set it for older posts only, but too much spam forced me to revisit that decision. Still no verification, but I need a bit more control over the spammers. $*%(& spammers!

  1. why don't (can't?) you turn the word verification on?

  2. I used to have it on, for all my blogs, but I hate having to type them (and sometimes, it takes me a few tries) and I don't want to have to subject folks to that here. Except for when I'm away from a computer/internet connection, I approve comments fairly quickly. Moderation seems less annoying than typing the capcha letters, at least to me. :)

  3. ah fair enough. as i've understood it, all these word verififications need to be is pictures, so the designers could produce plain text in a picture file. in which case i have no idea why they go for the wobbly writing which can be, as you say, very hard to read.

  4. I don't understand it, either. And sometimes, the letters are very clear/easy to read, and sometimes, not, with the letters wavy or bunched together. I have troubles with i and l a lot.
