Just a quick note to say that I’ve implemented the Comment Challenge Plugin in an effort to stamp out what will hopefully be the last of the annoying comment spams by automated spambots. When you go to comment on a story you’ll see a new field asking you to type in a keyword to prove you’re human. Follow its advice, otherwise your comment will be trashed, verbally abused, dressed funny, and made to stay late after school. Also, it won’t be posted.
Don’t worry, though. It’s not one of those annoying things where you have to squint at a grainy image full of jumbled or squiggly letters and try to figure out if that’s a “j” or an “i” while your comment’s life hangs in the balance. It’s just a text field and the keyword won’t even change that often, if ever.
Thanks, by the way, to Todd for telling me about this plugin. Woot!
Just curious to see what the word was I would have to type.
I started Gerald’s Game and was never able to read more than about twenty pages of it.
