Comment Spam

A change to my blog setup, for those of you who care (as if)

Due to the HUGE amount of comment spam I get, and the fact that people have been abusing the ‘E-mail authorization’ plugin I picked to stop this by putting others e-mail addresses in there thus using my server as a source of annoying e-mails, I am now requiring anyone wanting to comment to have to register for an account on this blog.

This is unfortunate since my ‘Identity Theft’ entry from last January apparently gets a lot of traffic and legit comments. But for the moment, shields are up.

I’m looking into a ‘capcha'(sp?) option but haven’t found any that work with wordpress 1.5 yet. Anyone else have any experience with this?
