Over the past month or so, comment spam on my blog has gotten many times worse than in the past. I have been receiving somewhere between 75-200 comment spam messages per week. Because of this, I was forced to enable comment moderation a while back. Unfortunately this isn't a perfect solution since I still must pour through all the rubbish and manually remove them. Thanks to Glenn Smith, I can reduce the number of message's I must look at by using the CAPTCHA functionality he created. Hopefully Simon incorporates this into the next revision of Pebble.
