We need CAPTCHA? #179

This spammer seems to be using a botnet (every other post is from a different IP). I don’t see an easy/quick way to prevent this, so yeah, looks like we might need to add a Captcha after all. :(

As I really don’t like captchas, I’ve instead enabled Akismet on the server. Hopefully that is sufficient.

Update: it doesn’t seem to catch all spam yet at the moment, but I’m actively marking new entries as spam so Akismet can block similar posts in the future.

Sweet! They are blocking like 7.5 million per hour :+1:

If you're still considering to add a captcha, take a look at the newest reCaptcha from Google. The first captcha out there (that I know of) that doesn't hurt usability... http://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/index.html
