Spam again

26 Dec 2004 - Under General By Mandrake

Today, my blog was spammed with at least 60 comments regarding some unknown urls. Amazing thing is that it went thru the usual spam capturing device I put thru. Hence, I have to come up with a better solution. As such, I am using the “image authentication” technology you see when you sign up with Yahoo or Hotmail. this is an extra step if you want to post a comment, no biggie.

What you see would be something like this.

then you just put whatever text is in the image into the input box and it should be alright.
If you don’t then your comments won’t go thru. Sorry to have to put you people thru this.

Merry Christmas and Happy new year everyone!

    Like they say, Evil is clever, but Good must be even more clever.
