Please turn CAPTCHA checks off for my comments on blogs I have publishing rights for!
If I own or co-author the blog, I could post anything I wanted in the main body of a post anyway, so whether I'd be able to splog links all over the comment section of it or not just isn't interesting; it's just a waste of time, and a waste of my time having me type in CAPTCHAs.
If I'm logged in as a blogger user, you know if it's my blog or not, and if it is, you know it's silly to prompt me with the CAPTCHAs under these circumstances. So please don't. Or make it a blog owner's option not to, if you have some odd use case in mind where they would actually be appropriate and useful. But I warmly suggest having that option turned off by default.
Ha, great minds think alike? ;)
ReplyDeleteSomehow I think they have reasons to spam protect blogs.
ReplyDeleteThey do, in the particular case when a blog author has the Blogger internal flag "likely splogger" set. But only then. Are you still not cleared from that suspicion, Jasper? I had it for a few days at most, before being cleared by some anonymous Blogger reviewer.
ReplyDeleteMy blog has not been reviewed yet. The help page states that I'll be contacted when my blog has been reviewed. I'm still waiting..
ReplyDeleteThat's an awful shame; Blogger really ought to do better than that. You did click the link to prompt them to verify you? (I at least think I recall there was such a link somewhere around the message explaining the additional CAPTCHAs. Not 100% sure, though.)
ReplyDeleteI followed the instructions. Anyhow.. I'm not bothered that much by typing the verification word when I'm posting something.
ReplyDeleteexcellent points!
