Testdriving “Comment-Policy” Wordpress plugin

Trying to increase the quality of service of the Zo’C blog and trying to reduce my effort to manage spam and approve comments quicky I’ve just instaled the Comment-Policy Wordpress plugin.

I tweaked the plugin a little so now It looks like I wanted to, but the behavior is the same.

When a reader posts a comment, it is necessary to check a checkbox stating that you are human, so this will prevent an automated bot to post spam comments on the blog

Simple, yet powerful. At least I hope so.

At the same time, now comments will show up without the need of my previous approval, which is great for the discussion on the blog, and allows me to do something more useful than watch after spam.

I hope this will be a dramatic improvement on the comment posting process.

Have fun!
