I have had it with the spam on this site. This site, up until today, was free from any thought to post to. All you needed to do was fill in the comment form at the bottom of each posting and hit submit. I would receive an email and the comment would sit in limbo until I logged in an approved it. I am getting around 50 spam comments a day however.

Starting now, I have added an image verification. Very, very basic I will let you know. It is actually only one image, so the same password will work on every posting. This is the beginning of my experiment to reduce spam on this site, so this will be step one. I will let you know how much spam I get after this.

This is the image I will be using.

So all you will need to think about is writing the contents of hte image into the text box beside it. Not one of those complex ones that are supposed to fool optical character recognition software. I will move to that for phase 2 of my spam reduction experiment. I am thinking phase 3 will be multiple images and some sort of database back end to randomize them.

But, first things first.
