In my 2 blogs, I used just a slightly more inconvenient captcha than what you’re using right now. Adding 5 + 8, like you’re using now, takes only a second to go through. Mine, which uses the usual letters and numbers sets to be read and typed takes around 4 seconds (because sometimes you need to stare to read it) seems effective enough because it dropped spammer comments count to almost zero. Yes, there are some complaints from sincere commenters, but I think they understand and can handle it.
Anyway, this plugin would definitely be helpful especially if you don’t want to read each comment to determine spam content or not.
bbJ – the problem isn’t the bots, it’s human commentators who are driven to get a link. They don’t all make the effort you’ve made.
