ARGUMENTS AGAINST WORD VERIFICATION
Everyone
will have their own view, but in my case, I regard the removal of word
verification as a basic courtesy to my visitors who are kind enough to
take the time to leave comments. Being aware of their comments through
comment moderation, but not hindering them with word verification is
the very least I can do to reciprocate their courtesy to me.
The
problem with word verification is that it takes too long. The
characters are very often hard to decipher, and it’s frustrating when
you get them wrong and have to re-enter the little suckers!
So
this campaign is on behalf of busy bloggers. Please spare a thought for
the poor bloggers who work so hard at getting round as many blogs as
possible to leave sprinkles of blessing and good vibes wherever they
go. The terrible proliferation of this awful plague of word
verification is a blight on their efforts to make the Land of Blog a
cheerier place.I think most people just have word
verification switched on by default, not realising how easy it is to
switch it off, and perhaps not realising how annoying it is for other
bloggers. Either that, or they’re under the misapprehension that they
will be bombarded with spam messages. This is not the case. I’ve had
mine switched off now for three of the four months that I’ve been
blogging, and have had two spam comments. The responses I’ve had from
other bloggers to my earlier posts on this topic back this up. (You can
see the comments in response to my previous post on this subject, HERE.)
For
safety’s sake, have comment moderation on for sure, but please consider
canceling word verification on your blog. Maybe for a trial period, and
see how you get on.
Unless there are thousands of comments being
left, comment moderation shouldn’t be too much of an issue for the blog
owner, and other bloggers will also be more inclined to leave comments
if they can see that you don’t use word verification.
However,
each to their own, and if you disagree with me, that’s cool. We can
agree to differ and not visit each other’s blogs! lol ;o) OK..
rant over. If you have read all the way to the end, thank you for
putting up with it, and ~ obviously ~ do what you wish on your blogs,
but I had to say something. I love to get around and leave comments,
but word verification spoils the experience.
Of course, when I get my new job, all this will be academic to me, as I will then have
a life, and I won't have time for much blog-hopping!! Not that
blog-hoppers need to get a life.. Errr... think I'll stop digging now,
before I get into REAL trouble!! lol ;o)
