Added Security

File Under: For Your Protection
Recently, TDI affiliates (and TDI itself) have been the target of spammers. And as such, we have taken an extra step to keep the post spam-free. While this - like any other system - will not eliminate the problem 100%, we do hope it cuts it down by about 99%.

What is this extra step? Word verification. It'll only take a second, and it's sooo easy. We're sorry about any inconvienance this might cause, but we want commentors who are serious about saying original, well-thought out, things. So go ahead, test it out. May there be no more "your blog is cute. So is your hair, so color it today and click on my AdSense so I can get paid to spam!". Word verification is simple, no? And it helps to stop automatic machine spammers.

Thanks for your time. It's been quite a busy day here at TDI!

I WAS right. It's easy. Hardly any change at all.

Great post EChuckler.

I will add it to my favorites and reccomend it to all of my friends.

BTW have you tried the RONCO food dehydrator, spray on hair, cheese greater/blender/spalula combonation aircompressor?

Alas, that the spammers would bring things to this level. Oh that we should live to see these evil days!

I liked the informercial for the Ronco slow-cooker. Just "Set it and forget it!". Hehe...

Yeah, added security is a bugger, but it'll be safer this way. Unless Nate was the spammer all along... ;)
