Blog Comment Spam Killa - Keystrokes
Blog comment spam sucks. I got seriously sick of robots posting about various drug, p#rn, and texas holdem sites on GarageSpin...like a Maxim magazine gone bad. After playing with a couple plugins this weekend, the comment spam has ended.
If you use Movable Type to blog, I've got one word for you: MT-Keystrokes. This badboy plugin validates that the commentor is actually a human typing in the comment...and not a robot spamming on the fly. Awesome stuff.
I also looked at HMPassPhrase and TypeKey stuff, but they both required readers to take extra steps to comment...too much work.
Anyway, here's to a spam-free blog...it's such a relief.

Ah, only until the spammers figure a work-around. There is no cure-all. It's the price for communicating...

So true, so true. Is this what they call the "Red Queen Effect", where you need to run just to stand still? :)
