LOL I twittered recently that they were becoming like rorschach inkblot tests for me -- I was always reading something into them!
i got rid of mine, but i filter all posts, still....
They run a lot of the letters together so that you can't really make out what they are. They are supposedly to deter spammers, but they can read just as well as anybody else!
Lisa
ha ha me too :)!!!
Yeh they can get frustrating sometimes.
you think you are dumb!!!! I don't even know what you are talking about!!! lol
Alexia: Thanks for commenting on my blog. They could be considered Rorschach tests as well. Whatever they are, they drive me crazy.
Laughingwolf: I'm glad that I don't have to do the word verification on your blog. I don't want to be bothered with word verification onh mine. Also, I often go a week or so between going to my blog and don't want commenters to have to wait that long to see their comments appear.
Lisa: I think they are probably effective against people who automatically send out thousands of comments electronically.
Annette: I can feel your laughter through the e-zone.
Mick: frustrating, maddening, etc.
Nola: I'm not sure if you're joking about not knowing what I'm talking about. Oh yeah, now I see the LOL. I wish I really didn't know about this stuff.
Aren't they a pain, I mean letters that squiggle and do real slow dances are impossible to tell apart. I prefer not to have it, but I've been told that by doing so spam can also visit my visitors, so for their sakes I leave it on...;)
Lorraine: That's interesting. I hadn't heard about that before.
lol... i have a friend [lawyer, natch] who insists on both word verif AND the filter... paranoid? :O
you can decide how many letters one has to decipher on the word thingy....
Laughingwolf: I didn't know that you could do that. I just wish the letters, no matter how many, were easier to read, especially when i really really try to get them right and end up getting them wrong.
Glass as Crayolas for adults! I like that! I feel that way when I knit Fair Isle projects...you can let your imagination soar!
And you're welcome to "craptastic"...I'm sure I borrowed it from someone else myself!
Have a great weekend, Arlene.
Simply put: I hate word verification.
Google is overboard with word verification. I think it is part of their paranoia from too many of then doing too many drugs. There are literally hundreds of thousands of spam blogs, and Google is obviously not doing anything about that.
So the word verification is their way of hassling the lawful users, sort of like gun control only affects the people that are law abiding citizens.
Kathy: Thanks.
Nona: Simply put is right on.
Spider: Well I agree with you about gun control, but use of word verification is up to the individual blogger. I use it for my blogs. What I dislike about word v. is how difficult they make deciphering them.
