See how it goes for six months and you can switch verifier back on if you feel the need. <br /><br />Feels better though, doesn't it? :-DCazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17387674413840435759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-16459282411014753832012-02-20T20:12:37.047+11:002012-02-20T20:12:37.047+11:00I had no idea I had a spam folder!

Since then - and this was prior to Blogger getter a built in spam filter (which it did get during the last big upgrade; works the same as email spam folder) - I've had fewer than a handful of spam comments to delete manually each year. The spam folder doesn't fill up either, that is, there's no spam. When they first introduced it, the only "spam" was real comments, which we all puzzled about - published, but vanished, until Jacob pointed out that I'd probably find the missing comments in the spam folder. Seemed to sort itself after a few months, haven't had to rescue any comments for a while. <br /> <br />In other words, for small blogs, spam is a non-issue, barely registers as a minor irritant a few times a year. Perhaps spamming blogs turned out to be fruitless compared to the personally addressed emails from Nigeria. Either way, I promise your world won't fall apart if you turn off word verification. If memory serves, you've had a couple of really impressive spam comments in the past ... a long way back now. <br /> <br />Be daring. Switch it off. Be a free blogger ... freeeeeeee, freeeeeeee. Like not wearing deodorant or going sans undies. Pick your preferred metaphor.Cazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17387674413840435759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-61547295230000080742012-02-20T14:52:01.774+11:002012-02-20T14:52:01.774+11:00Yes, this new word verification thingy is really ...Yes, this new word verification thingy is really nuts. Still debating whether to just let the spammers have a bit of fun, or turn on comment moderation or... I dunno, are there any other options? (Ruling out not allowing comments at all, of course.)TimThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333303180015967125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-55915851040829192982012-02-19T19:41:13.055+11:002012-02-19T19:41:13.055+11:00You've got to have balls to lose your nuts
