Anarkismo's commenting guidelines are changing

category international | miscellaneous | feature author Sunday August 26, 2007 20:13author by Anarkismo Editorial Group - Anarkismo Report this post to the editors

Lately, our visitors have experienced a lot of spam: silly ads disguised as comments. In fact we're getting way more spam comments than real comments.The only way to stop the spam efficiently would be by a proper spam filter - something Anarkismo unfortunately lacks at the moment. Until we've acquired such a spam filter we see no other option than to moderate all comments. This implies that comments won't appear immediately, but have to be OKed before publication.

We hope our users will show understanding and patience. As soon as the technical solution is in place, we will once again make it possible for everyone to comment without having to wait for approval.

Have you considered using a CAPTCHA? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAPTCHA

They massively reduce spam.

Baring the use of anti-spam software perhaps a membership I.D. and requiring a login in order to comment would be easier for the site moderators and less potentially intrusive for commentators?
