anti-spam comments feature

@ 08:17 PM (32 months, 4 days ago)
By default, anybody can leave a comment in your fresh new blogHi blog. Unfortunatelly, besides well-intented users trying just to let you know their thoughts, there are a lot of companies out there, using your blog to sell their texas holdem poker nonsense, or viagra pills, and taking advantage of these open comment forms. This is generally sad, since gifted developers are attracted more and more by the short-term revenues brought by this spamming industry, and join the dark side of the force.

In order to prevent and eventually cut out comment spam, we introduced a supplementary check for users trying to leave a comment entry, called captcha. We hope you will find this feature useful. Let us know your thoughs on this.

Thank you for letting us power your blogs!
