Comments

Yes, the spammers are always complimenting the site, and, yes, the spam posts have been fodder for funny comments from Scrapiron and El Gran Color Naranja, but we still don't really like spam. We've therefore made a change to the site that (hopefully) will reduce the number of spam comments.

It appears that much of the spam comes from automated systems, so we're asking people who post comments to type a word that appears on the screen. Because computers can't recognize the word, this process should stop automated systems from posting comments. (We should know immediately after we post this whether the change has worked.) We apologize for any inconvenience, but we hope that this will limit the free-riding, blood-sucking spammers from polluting our site.
