I’ve gotten nearly 200 spam comments in two days. I get them from time to time, but this flood is new.
I’ve closed comments on older posts, but they’ve moved to pages. And I’ve long since arranged my settings so that new commenters have to have their remarks approved–but sorting through the spam for actual comments to approve is a nuisance, and takes time I don’t really have.
So while I don’t particularly want to add captcha to my site, I’m wondering if that might not be the way to go.
What say you, actual commenters? Would that keep you from commenting? Because I want you to. I just don’t want to have to find your comments among the onslaught of nonsense.
And in the meantime, here’s a more . . . er . . . loving look at SPAM.
