Comment Math

In an effort to better weed out the comment spam (and not accidentally delete any more comments by having to manually delete spam) I’ve installed Pete’s Custom Anti-Spam Plugin. Doug from All Things Democrat recommended it and I found it to be the easiest, cleanest and least obtrusive of the spam filter plugins I fiddled with. So far it’s working great; I only had to clean out 5 spam comments in the last 24 hours and those probably slipped in while I was fiddling with settings. This is a huge improvement over the 100 or so spam comments I normally have to contend with daily. Highly recommended.

    This isn’t straight forward.

    You have to make several attempts because the equations are straight forward.

    4+4X7 = 32 to a computer, 56 if you process it from left to right.

    took me three tries. I can fiddle with the settings though.

    We’ll get it all worked out.

    How about reCaptcha, instead? Does this work better?

    Have you tried Pete’s Custom Anti-Spam? I use it in my blog and love it. Not sure what WP version you use or what you’re level of php knowledge is, but I’d recommend it.

    You’re right Doug, Pete’s CAS is much better.

    I think I can handle this, rather than the math test.
