Army of the Republic Winner
First of all, a question. I am having hella spam problems. In the last week or two, I’ve gone from around 75 or so spam comments a day to around 500 spam comments a day. Clearly, I cannot go on approving all comments/commenters. I have decided to try a captcha program. I know, I know, it sucks to have to do that while commenting, but what can I do? My question, therefore, is, does anyone know of a good captcha plugin for wordpress? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Now then, on to more important matters!
The winner of The Army of the Republic is…
Dawn M.!
Dawn, I’m e-mailing you for your address and will get the book out to you!
Thanks to everyone who entered!
Yeah I had that problem too just a few weeks ago and it was driving me insane! I use SI Captcha by Mike Challis. I had the husband set it up for me. Anytime I have blog issues, I have him take care of it. So far, it has stopped the spammers.
congrats to the winner
Congrats to the winner!
About spam — with my being on wordpress, they stop almost all potential spammers, but any that are in doubt are sent to a queque that I have to look at and approve/disapprove. I have noticed that in the past couple weeks, the numbers in that queque have gone way, way, up too. The spambots must be becoming very virulent!
