For anyone using Blogger, and who hates CAPTCHA
I have found that if you turn off the word verification step AND make it so anonymous commenters can't get through, you can still prevent ungodly amounts of spam but not have to deal with the horriblenous that is CAPTCHA. YMMV, I leave it up to you to decide if it is worth it or not.

I'll keep it in mind, still haven't had more than 3 or 4 a day though....
I get too many commenters who do not have Blogger accounts. I am not willing to lose them.
Bear in mind that the new "two word" Captcha has a purpose. From what I gather, you only need to copy the more legible of the two correctly; you can spell the other one however you want.
I understand the thought behind CAPTCHA, but I really really just don't like it at all. Can't explain why, but considering I never got any anonymous commenters except spam bots, it's worth it for me.
I'm still thinking that I'm going to switch to Wordpress soon, though. All accounts say that their Askimet system works very well.
Tam, if so then I never got the "right one" right, I have not bad eyes, and I still struggle with the damn things...
I started doing just that a while ago and it does help. Blogger's spam filter works fairly well. At least Blogger lets folks use logins from several services, not just Blogger.
