How to set up code insert for comments to prevent comm. spam

  • Hi,

    I want to set things up so that someone interested in adding a comment needs to copy a displayed ‘code’ on the page in order to control comment spam. Can someone point me to instructions please?

    thanks.

    Review the available Captcha spam plugins. They “create a challenge/response scenario involving an image composed of randomly generated characters.”

    Good luck.

    Captcha plugins are a bad solution IMO. They aren’t hard to get around, are a pain to users, and those using text viewers (what, 0.0001% of people? lol) can’t comment.

    Anyway, try these two plugins:

    • Bad Behavior – stops bots from ever accessing your site in the first place.
    • Spam Karma 2 – Reloaded – if any bots do manage to get through or someone manually enters spam, this’ll catch it and mark it for moderation or even automatically mark it as spam.

    If you have those installed, you’ll NEVER get any spam making it onto your blog. ??
