It's still pointless as many "spam" pages still look like spam pages and people won't click them.<br /> Stephanie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324411278252488163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-19142641827399908012013-02-25T16:22:22.349-05:002013-02-25T16:22:22.349-05:00That's an unreal number!

I really didn't want people to think I was removing actual reader comments though. Thanks for the encouragement!

I can't even wrap my head around that.<br /><br />You're right about the word verification hurdle being a hassle, but since you mentioned what you are up against, it is totally understandable. By the way, I sometimes have vision problems, myself, but I've found if a reader clicks the little circular arrow next to the entry box, the service will continue offering up other phrases to copy. I jut click until I can actually <b>see</b> what the numbers are.<br /><br />I really enjoy your blog and hope you won't let that discourage you from continuing!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-36700132165158880472013-02-23T10:23:47.156-05:002013-02-23T10:23:47.156-05:00I've had a lot more spam in the past three mon...I've had a lot more spam in the past three months, too. Having comment moderation activated stops them from ever being posted, but even so, it has surprised me how much I would have received if I had it off!<br /><br />I've noticed that it's not just Blogger and Wordpress that are having the spam problems: most articles I read online are littered with spam comments in the threads. :(Andrew-L'autrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09683044614329189495noreply@blogger.com
