And I don't get why some people make me do word verification AND then have comment moderation on??? Why BOTH? whew! thanks for this post!Kerry D-Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928873060959035167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8097877542160537971.post-40235702536423142792008-09-08T15:59:00.000-04:002008-09-08T15:59:00.000-04:00I am so pleased to see your responses to Shirley's...I am so pleased to see your responses to Shirley's post!! I have been running a campaign against this, (and found afterwards that I wasn't the first!) I am currently running blog candy as a bribe to get people's attention, and - Shirley - if you check out the nearly 100 comments I've had now, you'll see you are FARRR from being alone!<BR/><BR/>It does seem, though, that most people who still use word verification are on on American blogs. I don't know why that would be, but it does seem to be that way, which is why I am so pleased to see the responses you're getting, girlfriend! :o)<BR/><BR/>Thing is, though, I've had responses from people saying they don't have it switched on, but when I go and visit them, there are those pesky little squiggles masquerading as letters there to greet me!! Grrrr!! They're not misleading me.. they just don't realise it is there!<BR/><BR/>Comment moderation = good, word verification = bad!!<BR/><BR/>Thanks again, Shirley.. You're in for five entries in my draw! :o)<BR/><BR/>For others, the blog candy is <A HREF="http://craftlingscosycorner.blogspot.com/2008/08/10k-blog-candy.html" REL="nofollow">HERE</A><BR/><BR/>Chris xxChristine (All She Crafts)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01140950313415650284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8097877542160537971.post-71026518167079161462008-09-06T19:45:00.000-04:002008-09-06T19:45:00.000-04:00Shirley, it's my pet peave too!

I took it off my blog after Allison's post too, and have had one post that I removed, but it would have come with verification as it was not a computer generated post anyway.Laura (scrapnextras)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03370406644086019977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8097877542160537971.post-58393098888960919282008-09-06T13:14:00.000-04:002008-09-06T13:14:00.000-04:00Yes, I am old enough to remember typing tests- and...Yes, I am old enough to remember typing tests- and yes, I really hate those word verifications!<BR/><BR/>I've been blogging just under a year and I have had only one questionable post- not OBjectionable, just weird- that I removed. And removing it took all of 2 seconds!<BR/><BR/>And, the ones I REALLY hate are where you have to do the word verification and then you get the "posted after blog owner approval" notice as well- that, to me, is just paranoid.<BR/><BR/>I still comment on those blogs if I like the blog and/or the owner, but it does seem a bit much.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12254235256417250935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8097877542160537971.post-23571314994528789882008-09-05T19:10:00.000-04:002008-09-05T19:10:00.000-04:00I hate word verification!

If you wanna have control of your postings, use comment moderation.<BR/><BR/>Word verification doesn't stop anything ... spammers now have software to get around word verification ... and all it does is p*** off your readers. <BR/><BR/>I've never used word verification and have never had a problem. Neither has the other 150 bloggers I asked ...<BR/><BR/>It's coming down to either lose word verification or lose your readers!Deb Neermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11818839553519612963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8097877542160537971.post-78743770260840983272008-09-04T22:45:00.000-04:002008-09-04T22:45:00.000-04:00Wow, wow, wow, aI love this so beautiful.Wow, wow, wow, aI love this so beautiful.Cindy Haffnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10690711094240696134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8097877542160537971.post-63743763076805121022008-09-04T20:18:00.000-04:002008-09-04T20:18:00.000-04:00I'm with you on this Shirley!
