You know how when you go to a blog and you want to leave a comment, sometimes one of these dastardly things pops up:

Those little word thingys are called captchas, they allegedly help prevent spam although I'm thinking they are maybe just to annoy the heck out of us.
I decided not to use it on my blog. Just leave a comment, I'll deal with the spam, whatevs man.
Mmmhmm. For MONTHS I thought captcha was gone and it wasn't! And you kind souls left comments anyway. Sorry about that.
It really is truly gone now. I found the box to uncheck. Promise.
Those are SO annoying! It's really gone? Pinky promise? ;) I'm testing it with this comment...
ReplyDeleteYAY!!!! Captcha free! :D
DeleteLove this! I'm no fan of captcha either. And some of the newer ones have gotten so sophisticated that it leaves me scratching my head in confusion.
ReplyDeleteROFL! A blogger should know that if I grumble through a CAPTCHA (especially on my phone!) I really like what you have to say! It's very frustrating that I can't comment on Blogger blogs from my phone (it's not the writer's fault lol) and I'm very thankful to those of you who let me sign in with a name and URL (my open ID's aren't working correctly and I'm avoiding G+ at the moment). So that's a long way of saying thank you for making it easier to let you know we love what you're posting!
ReplyDeleteYay!! I hate those things!!!
ReplyDeleteAww... thanks!
ReplyDeletehee hee! Thanks for looking out for us.
ReplyDeletewow, that was so easy I'm commenting again just for fun!
ReplyDeleteI found myself clicking through a ton of them till I found one I could decipher, bleh!
ReplyDeleteOOh, thanks so much! I hate those too, but I don't like pointing them out in case you had a good reason to keep it! :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I still left comments for you but after trying my luck on about 2 or 3 before I get the right one. I hate them too and don't bother with them on my blog either. :)
ReplyDeleteYAY!! I've had to refresh those on multiple blogs so many times just so I could get one I could get...or I'd ask my kids what they thought it was. lol
ReplyDeleteGreat! But I would have left a comment anyway . . . just for you :)
ReplyDeleteYeah! I can't read those things at all. That's why I moderate comments, because the spam comments get pretty easy to spot.
ReplyDeleteLOL, I'm about to get rid of it on mine and switch to moderation. When I had neither, the spam was overwhelming, at least on blogger. I leave comments either way if I want to say something but I know it bugs a lot of people :)
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! No apology necessary.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you deleted this! I HATE them too!
