I don’t like doing the Captcha thing, but I hate blogspammers even more.

Just at the beginning of the holiday season, my new spam-free blog system started getting the occasional comment. Toward Christmas, it picked up.

Today I have deleted over 200 spam comments. I am currently in a constant cycle of moderating, tagging, and deleting spam comments and banning IP’s – which I’m fairly certain isn’t doing that much, because they seem to be spoofing an awful lot of IP addresses.

So to further combat spammers, I have installed a Captcha plug-in. Hopefully this will mean a significant decrease in spam comments.

Funny. I thought this kind of thing only happened to people who had readers.
