There has been no spam comments since I added the simple antispam functionality on pblog. However, since there was some confusion as to how to filter the numbers from the antispam string, I simplified it. Now, the antispam string has to be written as is. If spams start appearing again, I may introduce a math-based solution 🙂

I agree with Tom Savas, I once wrote a comment on your blog about 2 weeks ago, read the spam message in a hurry and assumed that you wanted me to enter the first 9 characters of the string. Then, I hit submit and the next thing you know, my comments dissapeared without any message telling me what happened. I assumed my comments went through and the reason they didn’t appear on your blog straight away was cause you wanted to moderate them before publishing them. I guess the problem was that no other blog uses such a method so it takes a bit of getting used to.
I am sorry for the pain Antonio. I tried to make the process more difficult for an automation bot but, unfortunately, I made it difficult for people 🙁 Sorry!
Hopefully, it should be better now.
