I just had to “moderate” roughly three dozen spam-bot attempts to plaster my comments with worthless URLS for weiner drugs, ineffective medicines and other crap.
As a result, to post a comment you will now need to enter one of those CAPTCHA letter/number combinations. I have it set for medium, and after a little testing, it only asks for four characters and they are pretty easy to read. If anyone has any problems with it, let me know via email (mikeATimbodenDOTorg) and I’ll fix it.
Eventually I’ll try and get it so that it only prompts new people to fill it out. But right now I don’t have the time to fiddle with and test the settings.
My apologies for even having to hook this thing up, but it’s either that or my email is filled with notifications to moderate messages which just end up being spam. And that’s annoying.
