Stupid Comment Spam

Nate Jones informed me that my blog (and his consequently) was filling up with comment spam. I had never even heard of comment spam until Joey Lawrance told me that he put up a blog at OSU and it had comment spam within a day. I'm working on soving the problem for once and for all by installing a pluging that uses image detection to differentiate between humans and bots. I guess we'll see how that goes.

This is the first comment that should be protected by the "scode" plugin. Die bots! Die!

Glad to see you started posting again. I know I didn't comment much, but I was reading (via rss feed).

In case you're interested, I've been posting stuff off and on at livejournal. Some posts are friend-only, so you'd need an account to read them.

Are you sure I can't interest you in online poker casinos? Or perhaps some Cialis or other such pills?

All in all, I'm glad to see MoveableType has a solution to this problem... Hopefully I can find a similar plugin for WordPress!

So, I found a solution for WordPress, called AuthImage:
