reCAPTCHA installed
May 30th, 2009
As I’ve spent more time marking spam comments (7 so far, I think) than approving comments from real people (0 so far, at least on this website), I am installing reCAPTCHA. This will involve minimal inconvenience to anyone who actually wants to leave any comment on my website, while reducing my (currently not so great) effort in blocking spam comments. It also serves a good cause, as you can find out on reCAPTCHA website.
Also, I enabled Mailhide which is supposed to help with email harvesting issue. Not that it’s going to do much good for me at this point, since my email address byun...@berkeley.edu has been out there for a while.
I just want to make sure that non-registered users can post comments if they pass CAPTCHA.
