Word verification for comments temporarily turned off

I’ve temprorarily turned off the word verification feature for the comments because it’s malfunctioning. It’s not allowing a number of people to post a comment, including myself!

The whole word verification thing was only enabled in the first place to discourage spambots, and it’s been very effective at that. As soon as Blogger fixes the problem, I plan to turn it on again. Till then, enjoy posting without the bother of that added step, and ignore all spambots–who will undoubtedly pay a visit.

    If you have the word on screen for awhile, the timer algorithmn runs out and resets. So you have to make sure that you write your stuff within a couple of minutes.

    I’ve always hated the word verification, I OFTEN had to do it twice, even though I know I typed it correctly the first time…

    A bit ironic, but still.

    Speaking of which I was reading Andrew Sullivan this morning and he has a photo of a gay Jewish guy with a beard named “Oliver Kamm” –is this some kind of common name or does OK have a split personality?

  8. Ymarsakar Says:

    Yes, I am being ironic.

    Not 5 hours later, Neo’s first spam bot. Is she nervous with anticipation over the next one?
