I have a WordPress blog and the only user input is the commenting system. I want to totally avoid spam comments. WordPress comes with Akismet but I can also use Captcha. Which plugin/method should I use?
My client doesn’t mind users entering verification strings to post comments. If I adopt either Akisment or Captcha will I be able to completely control the spam?
Is it possible to use either Akismet or Captcha for a simple 4-digit verification? If not then please also recommend a plugin/method capable of just a 4-digit verification.
The captchas seem to be fooled by adept people. The Akismet is better option in my view. Having said that you should still use captch along with Akismet 🙂
