I've turned my settings off - I am new to blogging and have been incredibly frustrated with the verification needed to comment - I must be verification challenged.Emily Lagorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03693980786515949789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055872763685124031.post-500078386532515652012-03-05T18:21:59.078-05:002012-03-05T18:21:59.078-05:00Excellent post and perfectly timely.

If you are a blogger you should take the time to look through incoming spam and approve those that aren't too spammy. It's especially irritating if you're a returning reader that often leaves comments - you'd think there would be a better way to welcome those who returns. In wordpress I've set so that comments by returning readers are published without hassle and new to my blog are held for checking. :-)iHannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00994613846114310258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055872763685124031.post-394543677010293272012-02-28T12:03:01.084-05:002012-02-28T12:03:01.084-05:00I just realized today that it was on.

I turned it off on mine too after I realized I had to switch to the old dashboard to be able to do it. I saw a post on another blog that Blogger caught 19 of the 20 spam post she received, after turning off word verification, and another user switched their settings so they couldn't receive anonymous posts.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12522564824093581675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055872763685124031.post-12072216908970356872012-02-28T08:42:16.425-05:002012-02-28T08:42:16.425-05:00As much as I hate trying to decipher those word ve...As much as I hate trying to decipher those word verifications myself I can sort of see the purpose after recently catching the attention of spammers. Before I thought it was a no brainer: unless you're some big-time blogger with lots of notoriety why would that ever be a problem? But then my humble little blog became a target and I would wake up to dozens of annoying spam posts. I temporarily turned word verification back on and that seemed to stop the problem. Since I understand how annoying it can be for readers I've turned it off again but won't hesitate to reactivate it if I start getting spam again. Ultimately I wouldn't let that extra step stop me from leaving a comment on a post I want to respond to so I hope it wouldn't stop my readers either.Lina Thomlinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16738524559071985395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055872763685124031.post-1919910605243565272012-02-28T00:09:57.115-05:002012-02-28T00:09:57.115-05:00This is a great post.

Not only are the word verifications so hard to read but many times for me they flash the word for at most 1 second. I think I end up not being able to leave at least 30% of the comments I'd like to. I like the warning idea!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055872763685124031.post-10050534951228761012012-02-27T21:33:12.280-05:002012-02-27T21:33:12.280-05:00I have to say that the new word verification is ha...I have to say that the new word verification is hard to read at times, although I am getting better at deciphering it. I turned mine off before the new changes, but I do understand why people may want to leave it on, so I think your second point is excellent. If I REALLY want to leave a comment on a post, I'll try the word verification multiple times, but if I'm just leaving an 'oh, that looks cool' comment, I'll only try once.

I went to check mine to be sure it was off. (How embarrassing would that be if I'm whining about something I'm doing:-o)<br /><br />I didn't change to the new interface despite bloggers many offers when I was in there playing with the blog innards. I suppose I shall have to at some point.

Mine was never on and then I found - POOF - it was on! I certainly didn't turn it on - I hate that thing. I prefer to moderate the comments instead of using that horrid "prove you're not a robot" nonsense. Oh - and they even made it difficult to turn off, as you have to go to the old interface if you're using the new one!Sandra :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16239494415344028806noreply@blogger.com
