I'm supposed to be exempt from word verification ("click on all the images containing bicycles") as the admin of my own blog, but I have to go through that nonsense, anyway, as long as I keep it activated. Since I'm now as annoyed by that feature as many of my commenters are, I'm turning off word verification but keeping comment moderation on. This means I'll see a huge increase in spam comments, but they'll never see the light of day because I can delete them all before I publish legitimate comments.
Sorry to all and sundry for the inconvenience of word verification. If, however, the spam proves to be a torrent, then I might have to turn that function back on. Just FYI.

clicking "no" to word verification

READ THIS BEFORE COMMENTING!
All comments are subject to approval before they are published, so they will not appear immediately. Comments should be civil, relevant, and substantive. Anonymous comments are not allowed and will be unceremoniously deleted. For more on my comments policy, please see this entry on my other blog.
AND A NEW RULE (per this post): comments critical of Trump's lying must include criticism of Biden's or Kamala's or some prominent leftie's lying on a one-for-one basis! Failure to be balanced means your comment will not be published.

Yeah, I wondered about that. Maybe my vision is poor but sometimes it was a struggle. And at first I didn't realize that after clicking on the appropriate item another photo would appear which may or may not require an additional click.
ReplyDeleteThe one you used previously where you just typed in the captcha code wasn't working out?
I actually have no control over what form the word verification takes. I was confused and frustrated by the latest seemingly random change.
