Does anyone want a “honey pot” for advertising spam? This blog collected 3,355 spam comments in the past 24 hours. Very fortunately, AKISMET (most highly recommended) caught all but 4 of them.
That’s about 5 million percent better than the spam filtering on Blogger! … and the reason all those Blogger folks use CAPTCHAs. Blogger itself should be doing the spam filtering instead of making visitors jump through CAPTCHA hoops. (Blogger’s parent, Google, has a most excellent spam filter as part of GMail, but can’t seem to find a way to use it on Blogger.)
Way to go AKISMET!
Meanwhile…. woodworking / woodcarving is deferring to repairing these:
CAPTCHA?
I have never posted anything or made a comment when that hurdle is set up. Whoever designed that system thought he or she was smart but didn’t realize that it blocks not just spammers but also feedback from the readers.
I don’t mind filling a CAPTCHA.
I never comment where it is only possible if you first have to be member of Facebook, lindeln, twitter and the like.
