I saw this button at the Muddy Boot Dreams and could not believe my eyes at first - someone made a button and started a movement! Brilliant! I do love to read interesting blogs, and love to comment, and I hate it when I have to fight with this word verification Cerberus. As a rule, I do not leave meaningless comments for the sake of establishing my presence; I usually try to make them informative and share something, and it often takes me a while to write a comment. After spending more that 30 seconds on writing the comment, the necessity of deciphering the tangled symbols can be quite irritating. I try once, twice, and then leave - often to never be back.
You can read more on the topic and grab the button here.
спасибо, Женя, за статью. сама мучаюсь с этими словами. мне бы пригодилась кнопка.
ReplyDeleteА, заходи сюда почаще, никакой капчи противной нет и не будет )) Это же ужас - три раза пытаюсь отправить комментарий, и три раза не получается!
DeleteI removed the word verification from my blog a few months ago, when it got so complicated that you usually have to try a couple of times... So my blog is word verification free too!
ReplyDeleteI removed the possibility to leave anonymous comments, and since then I haven't got one single spam comment!
YAY for word verification free blogs! :)
I will grab the button and add it to my blog! Thanks for sharing!
You're most welcome! Yes, your blog is not only interesting and beautiful, but also commenter-friendly )
DeleteSo glad to hear that another blogger has joined the movement, it's well worth it.
ReplyDeleteThanks to Beatrice Banks for creating the button that so many bloggers are using.
Unfortunately I just can't figure out the word verification, and I don't leave comments on blogs that have it, more and more bloggers are doing that also.
After almost 4 years I changed my comment form to no anonymous comments, and my spam has gone down dramatically.

I can see that the spam filter here is very efficient and I hope this will be the case in the future. Anyway, I prefer removing spam to preventing my readers from commenting.
DeleteI hate Word Verification as well! I haven't had one on my blog for quite some time and hardly ever have trouble with spam. And my spam filter usually catches it if I do :)
ReplyDeleteAh, it is good to have another confirmation. Your blog is indeed very comfortable for reading and commenting.
