Hi guys, just a little update on the status of this blog. Because I got a lot of spam, I´ve looked for – and found – a convenient Anti-Spam-Plugin for WordPress.
Now every time somebody is trying to post a comment, a (simple) question is asked to confirm, that the wouldbe-poster is a human being, and not a spam-bot.
This has proofed to be a very effective way of blocking spambots, because these programs can´t think logical, so they can´t answer any questions where they have to “think” about the answer (yet.)
Captchas sadly are mostly useless at the present, because even the more complicated captcha scripts are being cracked rather quickly.
So, for human users it´s just a small inconvenience, while blocking 99% of spam messages.
So please excuse the small “puzzle” (it´s easy to answer for most of you), but it saves me a lot of time I would spend in deleting spam-posts.
