I have tried about 50 times to enter one comment in GL. Guess what, it hardly ever works. It says KLHGF and I put that in and its wrong.

Not to mention it deletes what you wrote so you have to copy what you said every single time.

Yeah, it can get annoying. Try reading the letters again, I suppose.
Can't you just take it off? What purpose does it serve except making me not want to use the site?
Bots. We had to take extreme measures, I'm afraid.
 
Have someone okay the comments (moderate) If I have to again struggle with that system I am not going to bother using it.
 
how about, you make a special board on the forums that you can comment on the gl articles... maybe allow guests to post in the forum, and simply assign two or three of the GL staff members to moderate the comments.

I agree.

Capthca is a huge pain.
 
A while ago, in some PW-related post at the GL, I wrote like a paragraph of stuff, and had to re-write it litteraly like 10 times.

But, I dunno', it's worth it to keep bots away...

The only other thing is requiring people to login.
that'd be better IMO, because you know what you need to put in and you stay logged in for a while.

I second that. Although I rarely post comments there anyways.
 
We could just make the captcha code shorter...

Or have one when we're registering... [Which we all have done.]

It would mean that pretty much only TBTers would post comments though. People just stopping by wouldn't make an account.

I don't see a lot of guests popping in just to comment.

Only our good old regulars here.

Actually, I've seen tons of new people lately...
