Be heard on the issues that matter most to you!
We may want to consider some sort of captcha thing for comments by unregistered users.
I neutered three identical spam comments and sent them to comment oblivion just in the last few hours.
The comments had a subject line of "People" followed by a mass linkage. They were from an unverified commenter whose name was something like "jhbxwmkmef" or some crap.
While searching through the membership roll (where whatever the commenter's name did not appear - I guess that's what "unverified" means?) I noticed quite a few nonsensical member names that smell an awful lot like spammers as well. We'll have to keep an eye on those, and perhaps also implement the captcha rubber for registration, too.
I'll poke around the web and see if I can locate some sort of quality module.
What the heck is the name of the software we're using here again?

Drupal, right at the bottom of every single page.
Way to go, JanieBelle!
(sigh)
Sorry, it's not been a good week for me.

Riddler sounds cute , and requires the basic captcha module, and both are available through Drupal.org .
Thoughts?

I hit the user list earlier this evening. There weren't as many as I had thought, but they're gone now.

I forgot to mention. I've gotten four or five six or seven by this point, and only the first two actually made it past akismet, but I whacked them all just the same.
I like the pink background on the new comments, btw. Is that new, or am I just oblivious? ;) (EDIT TO ADD -Nevermind, I see that the pink is just for comments still in the moderation queue. I'm not oblivious, I'm confused. Sorry.)
I hope you can get that riddler thing working. I've got ideas about programming the questions (seemed like that was an option, but I wasn't sure) that would grant quite a bit of sadistic pleasure for me, personally...
Do spammers all suck big donkey balls?
Are spammers the terrorists of the interwebs?
Are you my mother?
In any event, does the regular captcha thing work, or is it not working any better than the riddler? Seems like since the riddler uses the regular captcha thing as its base, if one works the other should, and you'd the think the converse would also be true. Is that the case?

By following the link I gave in a previous reply, I noticed a "test" link, where you could go test it. Although some people's comments are on the thread, it didn't work for me there, either.
So it's not a problem with your install. I've just had an idea. I'm going to try it in *gasp of horror* Internet Explorer on a hunch....
Will let you know in a minute...

Doesn't work in IE either, even on the Try out a demonstration page.
Ya'd think they'd at least get it to work on their own damned blog, wouldn't ya?
Jesus, you'd think it was put out by MicroSoft or something.

IThe basic captcha module is a math problem, and that's what we're using. We're not even using the riddler at this point. And you can see from my comments of last night (which I apparently never remembered to go back and publish until this morning!) that even the captcha part isn't working right here.
I'm off to do family stuff for the day but will be back tonight. JanieBelle I leave it all in your capable hands for now .... good luck!
