One reader, whose feedback I enjoy, wondered generally on her own blog why some of us lock down our comment section with Captcha and moderation. Frankly for me, it's because my other blog receives a lot of comment spam from pornbots and viagrabots and dontspeakenglishbots. I figured that since Blogger is run by Google, and I don't view Google as a very security-minded company, the spamination would be orders of magnitude worse over here, and I've only got so much time in the day.
But in deference to those with more experience on Blogger, and because like any blogger I love getting feedback, I'll go ahead and ease up on the reins a bit and see where it gets me. Just don't blame me if the comments someday show acts that make you wonder "how is that even possible?!?!" I'll try to stay ahead of them, of course, but this is the internet. It's a petri dish for malcontents and misanthropes.
LOL! thanks! that one wasn't intended for you, btw. I was having my weekend half glass of wine and attempting blog comments...
ReplyDeleteNot a good idea.
Captcha and I don't get along under the influence. Too much scrolling. Incidentally, I've never seen the kind of spam you mentioned.
Could be amusing.
I hear ya! Nothing is more frustrating than getting spam comments.
