Roll Your Own CAPTCHA Mon, 17 Jul 2006 16:33:05 +0000 http://www.neurofuzzy.net/2006/07/10/dont-want-comment-spam-roll-your-own-captcha/#comment-1900 [...] After reading NeuroFuzzy’s post on preventing comment spam, and reading a bit about CAPTCHA systems, I thought I would roll my own.  It won’t work if you don’t have Flash, but it won’t break anything if you don’t; you just won’t be able to comment.  So few people read this, anyways, that I don’t think it’ll be much of a problem. I lump comment spammers in there with regular old everyday email spammers and people who send junk mail: they’re human trash.  Anything that I can do to circumvent them, I’m happy with.
