Let’s do math!

I had got a few complaints for the little captcha protection I had added on the comments so I went ahead and removed that. For those of you scratching your heads its the lil box with garbled text that says type this even though you can barely read it and looks like..

Captcha

But.. I had to have something. I had 13,000 pending comments out of which I think 12,991 were spam. I'm sorry to the 9 genuine folks who wanted to honestly tell me that my post was merda. Sorry, but those comments got removed with the 12,991 spam comments.

Anyway, so I have gone ahead and changed that to a much simpler spam protection plugin called "Math Comment Spam Protection" which I found here. Thank you oh unknown creator of simple plugin.

All you need to do is add two numbers and put in what it totals to. Yes, I know its hard and again, I'm sorry but I was tired of the spam. Might as well make you guys do a teeny little bit more of work so I get less spam. Right? Keep commenting. Cheers! :)

PS. If you have no idea what the heck I'm talking about, don't worry too much. Your life will remain the same ... mostly. Keep commenting anyway ;)
