PDF versionLike everything and everyone else on the internet we have been the target of spammers.
They have never been able to get anywhere because we have used both pre-moderation (ie we have to approve a comment) and a so-called CAPTCHA ("Completely Automated Program Telling Computers and Humans Apart") which has effectively meant answering a simple maths question.
Pretty secure - most bots fall over on the CAPTCHA test - but a disincentive to comment in the first place. And also creates the impression we filter comments for politics (we don't - though we will not post racist or sexist or similarly offensive comments - the only editing has been to remove some swearing somebody posted about Tea Tutberidze).
So we've now replaced that with Akismet for comments. (There are still CAPTCHAs on some other things). Hopefully it will work well and then we can remove pre-moderation.

Akismet works well for me, but still the revision of spammed comments are needed, sometimes it lets non-spam comments into the spam list.
Very bad, that I have nowhere to write my name or my email or my blog link while commenting.
