How badly do you hate Captcha?
I've been getting a TON of spam comments since I took off captcha. Now, it's worth it to me if y'all really hate captcha. But... let me know how much you hate it, please. If don't want me to turn it back on, I won't. If you don't care, I'm bringing it back.
Seriously. I will do whatever you tell me.
(Also, I've had a really crazy last few weeks since school got out, but I've got a lot of stuff scheduled for next week and the weeks following. So FOR REAL, I'm coming back in full force soon.)

I really hate captcha but I'm not always the best commenter anyway...something I'm constantly trying to work on.
ReplyDeleteI hate spam more than CAPTCHA.
ReplyDeleteI don't comment often at all, but I'd really advise against putting CAPTCHA back on. Do comment moderation instead.
ReplyDeleteI would, except I don't get online as often now because of work and school. And comments could just sit in my moderation pile for a LOOOONG time.
DeleteWhat happens if you get rid of anonymous commenting and limit to to those with OpenID or only with Google accounts? Would that possibly cut down on some of the spam? Also, if you get spam on older posts but not necessarily newer ones, you could set comment moderation for older posts. I think you can also mark comments as spam, which might help Blogger learn what sort of comments should be flagged.
ReplyDeleteCAPTCHA is annoying, but it's bearable. It's never stopped me from posting a comment?
I would, but a lot of my friends and family don't have blogger accounts. Most of the anonymous comments are from them. I would hate to shut them out.
DeleteHate it! So annoying! After typing the stupid letters and numbers a couple times, I don't want to leave my comment.
ReplyDeleteI personally don't mind captcha. And I like having anonymous comments enabled (obviously ha ha) since not everyone has one of the accounts listed.
ReplyDeleteSwitch to WordPress and then they have spam filtering that eliminates the need for CAPTCHA or comment moderation . . .
ReplyDeleteI don't mind CAPTCHA, but this is one of the reasons I am so happy I use WordPress instead of Blogger.
I could never leave blogger. Call me a loyalist! Or... call me adverse to change. :P
DeleteI hate captcha. You could just try putting Disqus on the blog instead of the normal commenting system. It's what I use. The spam messages never show and no captcha involved.
ReplyDeleteWell, I hate it :P
ReplyDeleteWe dislike captcha, but we feel your pain. If you need to put it back on, it won't stop us from commenting.
ReplyDeleteThat said, we don't use captcha, and we allow anonymous comments, and we find that Blogger does a pretty good job of filtering out the legit from the spam, so we rarely have to rescue comments from moderation or the spam folder.
I have to manually filter out about 20 a week.
DeleteLol.. everyone hate Captcha, but no one stop commenting. I like it but when it is in numeric
ReplyDeleteCaptcha doesn't bother me at all.
