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.

NOTE: Anonymous Commenting has been turned off for a while... The comment spammers are just killing me...
ALL comments are moderated. I will review every comment before it will appear on the blog.
Your comment WILL NOT APPEAR UNTIL I approve it. This may take some hours...
I reserve, and will use, the right to not approve ANY comment for ANY reason. I will not usually, but if it's off topic, spam (or even close to spam-like), inflammatory, mean, etc, etc, well... then...
Please see my comment policy for more information if you are interested.
Thanks,
Greg
PS. I am proactively moderating comments. Your comment WILL NOT APPEAR UNTIL I approve it. This may take some hours...
