You may have noticed Blogger's "word verifications" (captchas, the contorted words you have to read but can't) have gotten worse. Some even give up.
So I am trying turning it off. If I get too much spam, I'll turn them back on, but let's hope.
(Surely Google must be aware that everybody hates these things, because they've become unreadable??)
Update:
A half day later; first downside noted: a dozen extra spam comments. Fortunately they are usually filtered out on the site, but unfortunately, they still invade my email and have to be sorted through.
6 comments:

Here's a conspiracy theory for you: Google doesn't actually want people to comment on blogger because they want to drive everyone to Google+.
Think about it. Blogger hasn't gotten any significant new features in years. The CAPTCHAs didn't become difficult all of a sudden; they have become worse gradually. And now they are so difficult that people are actually giving up.
The really bad ones just make me guess- and it usually works. Which makes me suspect I am either a very good guesser, or you don't have to be 100% accurate when you type them in. I tend to believe it's the latter.
I have not commented several times just because it became too damn difficult.
Kent, you must be a great guesser, because computers, except when programmed painstakingly for it, never allows the tiniest mistake.
Even Kent's bound to be good at something.
I do like that it is turned off. :)
