Comment Moderation Back On

I used to have comment moderation turned off, then I turned it on because of an excessive amount of spam, then I turned it back off again after spam seemed to disappear for a while, and now I turned it back on because I'm getting too much spam again. Comment moderation just makes it easier to delete the spam; I don't really want to do this because I don't want to have you wait before your comment appears on the site; discussion should be taking place without me having to accept all the valid comments but at this point in time the spam is exceeding the valid comments. So there you have it. Comment moderation is on. :(

What, Blogger doesn't have support for akismet?

Hi Nexus,

Unfortunately not. Blogger does not have any intelligent spam protection systems in place that I am aware of. The best solutions I have at my disposal is this stupid CPATCHA image word verification thingy and comment moderation.

Regards,
Charl
