It got so bad that we had to forward a mail to tech blogger Jide Ogunsanya
“Jide oooooo!
Goodmorning…:(, peeps are complaining that it’s hard to comment on
the blog cos it’s showing them a pop up box asking them to confirm if
they are robots or not. Please how do i get it off :(“
So to our dear anonymous
commenters who are now finding it hard to drop comments, blogger Jide Ogunsanya has explained why as seen below:
Well, if you’re also experiencing same, don’t bother yourself googling how to make the word verification go away. This is because it seems to be a new way Blogger is fighting comment spam.Looking closely at The word-verification option page
at Blogger Help, you will notice where Blogger states that even if you
don’t have word verification turned on, anonymous commenters might be
asked to enter some text before they can leave comments on your blog.
So, it’s obvious that it’s a new way Blogger is protecting Blogspot blogs from abuse.
If you own a Blogspot blog, you can edit the “Comment Form Message” via “Settings” > “Posts and Comments” to inform your readers to sign in if they want to comment anonymously without having to enter the verification code.
If you are not satisfied with this new feature at all, you can move to
wordpress where you can tweak your blog commenting system as desire. 🙂
How Can I Avoid Solving Capthca Before I Comment Anonymously On Blogger Blogs?
If you always love commenting anonymously on Blogspot blogs and you
don’t want to be entering th verification text everytime you want to
post a comment, follow the steps below:
==> Type your comment and select “Google account’
==> Click “Publish”.
You will be redirected to a page where you can sign in
==> Sign in with your Google account credentials
The blog post page will reload.
==> Select “Anonymous” from the “comment as” drop-down box.
==> Re-Enter your comment and Click “Publish”.
Thereafter, you can post anonymously on any Blogger blog without having
to enter the verification code, in as much as you remained signed in to
your Google account.
That’s all.
