Implementing CAPTCHA for the blog

Finally I found a great CAPTCHA module for Community Server 2007 I was spending too long cleaning up the SPAM comments left on my posts. It's actually hard to find out what's a SPAM or a real comment, spammers are now just posting a compliment with a link.

Long time ago Rob Howard said that CS 2007 does not need CAPTCHA as is actually easy to break it. Since I implemented CATPCHA I haven't had any SPAM comment to delete. 

Please try it and let me know how you like it, if you do, please do use this great module from DotNetFreak in the UK. Easy to install and personalize.

Cheers

Al

Albert, you're right about CAPTCHA. I've had no spam issues in the years I've used it. None. I see you, like me, are being tagged with trackback spam. I've been looking into how to eradicate those as well, but as you say, CAPTCHA handles our comment spam brilliantly.

Dave,

I agree, my next thing is to find a way to remove SPAM trackbacks or just disable trackbacks for the blog. They are so annoying.

Thanks

Al
