A few weeks ago, I reopened commenting on this site after having it locked behind logins for years. Since then the amount of spam submissions have been growing steadily. Sucks, so I finally took the time to implement proper spam checking. Enter Google's free project reCaptcha. Of course I realize that, if something's free on the web, it probably means that I'm the product being sold. I'll have to poke around the code to see what it actually does :)
CodexWorld have a great tutorial on getting reCaptcha to work in a basic script. Took me less than an hour to get it all set up! Lovely!

Yay! /o/ It looks like it does!
Now let's see if the amount of spam goes down as well. I've turned off comment moderation, so we'll know within a few days.

Man this is awesome! Why didn't I implement this sooner? All the spam has completely dropped off and this is so much more user-friendly than the old code!
