I do not like word verification on blog posts.
It slows me down when I'm leaving a comment. Half the time I don't type in the correct set of letters. And the other half of the time I can't even figure out what the letters are supposed to be because they are so distorted.
But today I'm going to have to turn it on because in the span of 6 minutes I got 15 spam comments on old posts.
Imagine my excitement when I opened my email and realized I had 15 comments on my posts.
Imagine my disappointment when I realized they were spam.
So word verification will be turned on for now. I'll turn it off as soon as I can.
In the meantime, I'm off to dream of the day when I will get 15 real comments in 6 minutes.
Sorry about the spam!
ReplyDeletebut i'm so used to the pita word verification i don't mind
ReplyDeletejust think of this way, you must be important somewhere to be popping up to be spam worthy...i don't get spam comments :)
ReplyDeletehave you figured out that I'm trying to get you 6 comments in a matter of minutes?
ReplyDeleteNot a problem. I understand!! But I wanna know how you even get spam comments... I don't get those. You are SO IMPORTANT!!! :o)
ReplyDeleteok, so it's probably not at all the same as getting 6 legit comments from 6 readers, but hey I try!
ReplyDeletehope I at least brought a little smile to your day!
ReplyDeleteI hate word verification too. Mostly because I am too stupid to ever get it right. Let's see how I do today.
ReplyDeleteThat stinks. That's why mine's set to word verification, too.
ReplyDeleteSpam sucks. I hope it goes away quickly!
ReplyDeletei would do anything for like 1 a day on mine:) sometimes it's so lonely over at my blog:(
ReplyDeletebut thanks for your comments, I appreciate them very much!

Lisa was cracking me up with all her comments. I got some spam comments too...they must be out in full force this month. LOL
ReplyDeleteNot a problem.
That is frustrating! I don't like the word verification, either. But I have had to do that in the past. I hope it doesn't happen again!
ReplyDeleteYou get more comments than anyone I know of!!! : )
ReplyDeleteOh cool! I get to be #15!! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day! :)
Sorry sweetie.
ReplyDelete"Oh boy oh boy" is cracking me up. I don't mind the word verification. I'm always looking for a cool one or some subliminal message... or I try to pretend like it's a word scramble game. =)
ReplyDeleteMy word verification today: ersess. Not too exciting.
Ugh. Yeah. I hate the word verification,too. But we had the same problem. Every time we would post a new blog, we would get a "comment" from someone leaving a link to a site that would put a virus on our computer (or any of our friend's computers) if they were to click on the link. So had to do the verification. But, no more "bad" comments ever since.
ReplyDeleteI feel ya Beth. I toggle between turning captcha on and off too. Besides getting comment spammed I get e-mail spammed with my blog e-mail address and it drives me NUTS! okay, MORE NUTS. :)
ReplyDeleteI hate verification too, for the same reasons you do, but I understand. Bummer!
ReplyDeletemaybe i should turn mine off so i can actually get some comments! LOL!
ReplyDeleteOh man! That's like salt in the comment lover's wound. I don't like the word ver. either, but I know it's for a good cause.
ReplyDeleteBesides, I usually get letters that spell weird words. Today I got "splega" -- doesn't that sound like a tropical disease?
"I'm sorry, Mr. Smith, but I'm afraid it's a bad case of Splega."
Maybe I'm just weird . . .
Oh Boy has me giggling.
ReplyDeleteNecessary evils. I wonder what happens to start spamments. I have only had 2 ever. knock on wood.
Spam stinks.
ReplyDeleteIt''s a necessary evil sometimes.
ReplyDeleteSpam stinks.
