Too much Blog Spamming...

The Blog Spamming is growing... it's the 3rd day that I've to delete spam on my feedback.

We've discussed a lot about the spam problem on blogs and I think that the solution widely adopted now (disabling the feedback feature) is not the correct way to do... Blogs must absolutely be opened for comments but spam must be avoided.

An idea to fight spam on a blog comment could be the adoption of a CAPTCHA image... something like this:

You can write a comment on a blog post only by typing the correct image...

This is not a way to stop all the possible spamming, but with this way you're sure that someone "live" is under the monitor (spamming robots are dead).

A little idea for the CommunityServer::Blogs (.Text) staff is launched...
