Better than CAPTCHA
The amount of spam that hits this site on a daily basis is pretty staggering and annoyed me very much — but I grit my teeth and dealt with it because I didn’t want to make the few readers I have suffer through the making-your-eyes-bleed atrocities called CAPTCHA. Now I have found an alternative which not only doesn’t make your eyes bleed, it is also fun.
You want to make a comment on my site? You have to play a little game. Easy as that. Go on, try it out!
EDIT: How you can get cool spam protection, too:
Go to this website: http://areyouahuman.com/ and register for an account. The basic functionality is free. If your blog runs on WordPress or Drupal you can download a plug-in that does the heavy lifting for you. Also, their instructions are easy to follow.
There are also plug-ins for phpBB message boards, Invision Power boards, and vbulletin.
I AM COMMENTING ON YOUR SITE! And playing your game.

This neat little thing is called “PlayThru” and if your blog runs on WordPress installation is as easy as plopping in an addon. *yay*

Sadly enough my blog doesn’t run on WordPress, and I noticed Blogger (which I use) isn’t supported. Still thanks for bringing this to my attention. Hopefully a version that works on Blogger will be available one day.
