Extra Anti SPAM Measures  

Written by Haitham Sabbah on 28. December 2004, 0013hrs // Part of Haitham Sabbah's adventure in Internet 'n Computers // Other posts by Haitham Sabbah


I’m feed up with the huge number of comments that I have to deal with every day from spammers. I spend an average of an hour every day moderating, deleting, or reviewing awaiting approval comments, which some time reache hundreds.

Although your valid comments are 99% not affected by any of the anti-spam tools installed here, however I had to take extra measures to kill spam from even reaching my inbox.

Therefore, you will notice that when you want to add a comment to a post, there is a new box, just right before the comment box asking you to enter a code show in a box to the right, which is actually an automatically generated image.
Unless you enter that code, your comment will be lost and you have to rewrite the comment again and enter the security code. It looks like this.

Appreciate your understanding, and apologies for any inconvenience.

What next?

    Thank you Zaid.
    The spam is killer waste of time. But since this extra security code, I’ve not got a single spam comment :-)

    I was trying to post a comment to your “orkut invitation” entry. But seems like something is wrong with your spam killer. It complains “wrong code” given to even the right ones (code). Let’s see if I am able to post here. If the comment goes, then, please send me an orkut invitation. Yes! “I will approve your friend request”.

    If you could post here, you could post there.

    Anyway, the invitation is on the way.
