Sysadmin Field Notes

Security Code

October 31, 2004

Tired of spending 15 minutes a day cleaning out spam, I'm trying a "security code"/captcha solution. We'll see how it goes. I know visually disabled users can't post directly, but it's either this or turn comments off and then no one can post. Of course, the spammers will likely get around this shortly too (OCR on this is too easy).

Anyone who wants to post a comment and can't for some reason can email me and I'll post it for you. If this doesn't work, I'll be looking for some comment moderating plugin.

Stupid, slimy, bastard spammers.
