Unhappy Compromise

I'm outraged by the comment spam, but don't want to turn anonymous comments off, so the compromise is that you have to type in the word you see on the comments. Let me know if you think this is stupid or if you have any trouble with it, but shit, people I just had to delete six spam comments from the last post and it pisses me off.

so many of the blogs I read have had to go to this because of the damned spam. It's not that big a deal to do word verification.

I just deleted 14- the first ones I've ever gotten- today too.

The word verification is fine with me. How do you do that? Get it, I mean?

Peg, it's very easy. Just log onto blogger and go to your settings and there's a tab for comments and this word verification is now one of the options.

I don't know if they've just come out in force today or what, but I had a ton of them today, as well, which is why I figured I had to do something, especially because I love my anonymous posters and don't want them crowded out by unsightly idiots.

NOT stupid or troublesome, just hope it solves the problem. I may resort to this as well if I ever actually post anything again... *sigh*

How can that be? You must be cheating in some way. Maybe your commentors aren't doing their part to attract spam.
