Gotcha - CAPTCHA
December 3rd, 2004
My blog has only been active for a few days, and I’ve already experienced the first flood of porn spam comments.
But I knew what to look for to get it fixed without having to manually ban IP address Ad Nauseum, or permanently have to approve comments - even from good and trusted friends.
The solution: A CAPTCHA
I Googled for ‘wordpress captcha’ and found Gudlyf’s World ยป WordPress Hack: AuthImage
I think it took me less than 10 minutes to download the plugin, upload it, activate it and change a few templates.
From now on you are going to solve a CAPTCHA each time you want to post a comment.
And I’ll be relatively safe from spam posts
