We’ve added Captcha to all Kinetic Blogs!
Wednesday, December 26th, 2007We want to help our clients to be as productive as they can be so we’re adding Captcha to all Kinetic Blogs! We feel that Blog comment moderation is a business requirement! We’ve written about some of the more obvious reasons, including vindictive comments, comment spam and search engine mistrust here. Let’s face it, professionalism is a requirement of your business and if your Business- Blog is riddled with corrupt comments it only serves to lower those professional standards. Logic would have that moderation, where comments can be reviewed prior to their becoming a public piece of a Blog’s overall content offering, is a required business exercise.
Unfortunately, we’ve found there is another problem with comments and that is an intolerable amount of comment spam. These days, it’s not only the humans that comment on Blogs: bots do it too! Regardless of an ability to moderate, the exercise of reviewing hundreds of corrupt comments spread by uninvited bots [software existing to place degenerate comments with links] every week is unproductive for a business.
So, we’re adding Captcha to all Kinetic Blogs! Now, in order to post a comment, Captcha will require visitors to answer a simple challenge/ response test, thereby helping to prove [at least] they are human. Now, Kinetic Knowledge clients will be moderating productive comments that have a potential to add value to their blog.
