I have set my comments preferences to allow no verification, and even when I am logged in as an administrator, I must solve the captcha to answer comments on my own blog.<br /><br />Changed setting to allow Anon comments; still the same. Hating the captcha.<br /><br />Got around the spam by modding comments on posts after 14 days and that made captcha unnecessary for me. I'd like to go back to that, but Blogger has decided otherwise?

I can see that they also apparently are making some other somewhat hasty changes that make us lose comments.<br /><br />What I don't understand is, if I have comment moderation enabled, why can't they just let me (and their spam system) sort through the spam if it's my desire to do so rather than lose readers and comments? I actually get very few spam comments and they are very easy to spot, meanwhile the moderation seems to cut out unproductive conversation and encourage productive commenters...<br /><br />You're the best, Chuck.

I have hit my limit for the day and WV only but I am going to struggle thru it to comment here. :)<br /><br />It is clearly linked to the number of comments I make on Blogger blogs. After about 3, the numbers get longer, then blurry (sometimes just a blur with no visible number) and then even the RIGHT number gets kicked to word, as I captured in that post. I could live with the added step of the number verification if it STAYED that. WHY can't it? <br /><br />And bloody hell! 60K in an hour?? No wonder they felt like they had to do SOMETHING. <br />I just wish it would all settle down.<br />Thanks for commenting on the issue. <br /><br />Mary AnneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24069595.post-15145627703311781962014-11-19T13:26:56.329-08:002014-11-19T13:26:56.329-08:00Mary Anne,

It's the same as putting "trace" statements in code.<br />Print "Break 1"<br />Print "Break 2"<br />Print "Break 3"<br />etc<br /><br />So, let's keep identifying the problems, as objectively as possible, in hopes that they will fix the problems.<br /><br />And WordPress 60K spam comments may not be all that much, compared to Blogger. 60K is probably an hours worth, maybe.Nitecruzrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08069634565746003311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24069595.post-15992752910781820962014-11-19T02:12:41.742-08:002014-11-19T02:12:41.742-08:00I am hugely frustrated by this and if you check ou...I am hugely frustrated by this and if you check out the bit on my blog you will see why. I knew, with a high degree of certainty, that I was typing in the numbers right. I am HAPPY to type in the number verifications, I can read that 80% of the time - ok, once it was just a green blur with no number on it at all, but for ones like that a refresh fixes it and I can carry on. And yet it kept kicking me out to word verification, which I find impossible to read. SO to make sure it wasn't me, I started grabbing the verifications so I could see what was what. And sure enough, I typed in the RIGHT NUMBER and yet Blogger told me that I did it wrong and kicked me to Word verification. You can see it here.<br /><br />http://scrappystickyinkymess.wordpress.com/2014/11/19/woyww-285-got-it-figured-out-i-think/<br /><br />I have determined that if there is a cookie that Google places that makes it Word Verification rather than number, it expires in 24 hours. The next day I am back to numbers and can carry on until Google decides to stop me in my tracks. Shifting to another browser doesn't usually work but I was able to go back to number verification by going back to a no longer supported Safari (but not a no-longer supported Camino, more's the pity.<br /><br />They should take a leaf from Wordpress' book. 60K spam comments washed away in 5 years and less than 10 REAL comments caught in the filter. <br /><br />I'm just sayin'...<br /><br />Mary Anne<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24069595.post-76634383732181442752014-11-18T13:30:32.325-08:002014-11-18T13:30:32.325-08:00Angelina,
