Following Mike Shoemaker and Matthew Porter’s lead, I have implemented Glen Smith’s Maths Captcha patch for Pebble 1.9.

Pebble’s spam blocking capabilities is already pretty strong (I cleaned up more than 300 spam comments in the pending bin yesterday and today.) Yet there still are a few that made it past the spam filters. Since I have the “email earlier commenters when new comments are added” feature turned on, quite a few spam emails were sent out. Eric told me he receives them occasionally. I feel really bad about it and apologize to anyone who might have received such spam emails.

Here’s a big Thank You to Glen.
