*blog... kind of... *rss 



Tweaking the spam comments filter September 2nd 2009, ricardo
Over the weekend I changed a bit the system. Now, whenever the blog receives a comment, it's first checked against Akismet, if it gets flagged as spam, the system asks the user to fill a reCAPTCHA. If the reCAPTCHA isn't successful the comment gets ignored. Makes things harder for dubious commenters but normal (and honest) commenters experience is still simple.

So far so good.
