One way to deter the automatic (computerized) spammers is to put in the word/number verification feature. when someone posts they have to type in a word/number to enabled the post to go through. If there is a way to disable this for members then i am all for it but if this type of verification is implemented them spammers would not get through as easily especially computer generated.

Well as I am new to the world of blogging...I have been traveling around quite a bit and visiting other blogs. Now many including Google's Blogger use the word verification....however, I myself find it annoying...especially when you can't read their numbers very well and you have to keep trying. I implemented it on my blog for a few days and my posts went down. So I am back to choosing all post moderated. And as soon as I removed the word verification....the next day my post were back up again. So for me moderation works better....even though it is a big pain.

I can remember quite some time ago when spamming was absolutely out of control on this site. It was crazy. Alot of porn crap. But some changes were done and it is no longer a problem. Some moderators would spend their entire time on here just deleting the spam and doing nothing else. It is much much better now.
