Fighting Spam
I recently enabled comments on my blog. Ever since this has happened, there’s been a whole lot of spam comments that I’ve had to delete.
Unfortunately my web host does not allow external connections, so using a service like askimet seems to be out of question.
So how do I stop spam comments from being entered in my site ?
Captcha? Naah… It’s way too unreadable for most users.
Simple math? Yeah… It restricts comment spam by throwing the commenter a simple math question.
Wow, this thing actually works!
