As an experiment, I’ve made it so you need to be a registered user to comment on this blog. To comment, you’ll need a Typekey username.
I really don’t want to do this as, for me, having random people commenting on entries is one of the great pleasures of running a blog. But the amount of processor power being wasted by comment spam was getting unreasonable. I’m investigating alternatives and I hope to allow free blogging again soon.
Typekey is crap, it’s a real pain to use.You should look at those tests that computers can’t do themselves, like looking at three images and deciding which one is a cat.
