Verification for Blogger Comments

Blogger Buzz: Word Verification for Comments

"We've just introduced the option to require word verification for comments. This option (off by default) gives bloggers a tool to prevent the automatic creation of comments by nefarious ne'er-do-wells (e.g. spammers).

Features like comment captcha and flag as objectionable are not complete solutions to the problem of spam. But they are additional tools that can help address it."


LMAO... Wow, ask and you shall...

Of course if I were a spammer, and Blogger comment spam was worth the effort, I'd offshore it to a very low wage country and have humans cut-n-paste'ing all day...

In any case, I've just turned this feature on.

If it causes any problems I apologize in advance, but place the blame where it truly belongs, with the spammers.
