We have been flooded by comment spam. From last 2 hours along there has been 3000 comment spams that have attacked the blog. Hence we had to take an emergency measure.
From now on when you add a comment, you will see a new text field that will ask you a simple math question (yes we are testing your math skills
) and you just have to type in the number in the text field.
Example: if the text says “Please add 2 and 3″, type in 5 in the text box.
The idea is to keep the spam BOT engines away and differentiate between a human and computer generated comment. This will be a slight more hassel on your part but it will reduce tons of admin overhead for us.
Thanks for your patience.
