Splogging

Splogging (a.ka. spam-blogging) seems to be becoming such a painful issue. Had to enable word verification to stop the crap. Thanks to Rashmi Bansal for pointing it out - I was really puzzled by the phenomenon.

I had the same problem yesterday and turned on word verification.Wondering how this minor inconvenience would affect the comments ..

oops..continuing, automated spam comments would vanish but hope Word verification doesn't turn off genuine commenters ..

Yeah true, I was hesitant to turn it on. It would be great if we could have a better way. But if you see, it was the same issue with anonymous comments. Till I disabled it, people used to post anonymously all sorts of stuff - after the change, the comment 'quality' (so to speak) has become better :D
