And the spam filter on it has gotten much better. I haven't had spam in a couple of years, without comment moderation or word verification. I even allow anonymous comments.

After a few days, I disabled it, and everything was fine. I also used it when I had a horrible guy stalking my blog and leaving nasty comments. He eventually gave up and left, too and I took the comment moderation back out. But I don't care it others use it - it is vastly preferable to word verification. I find that so annoying it limits how often I'm willing to comment.<br /><br />(But not a huge fan of Disqus - it adds an unnecessary step.)Secret Agent Womanhttp://deepergroundblog11.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-61278308070650918212012-05-18T03:56:02.631-05:002012-05-18T03:56:02.631-05:00 I think some of reason is the blogger in order to...

I've had spam comments but never hateful mean comments. I don't post about politics or religion so that helps. I have no problem with a comment that disagrees.

Your comment section took me a minute to figure out, but I perservered. I do try to leave comments on blogs I enjoy and put in my two cents about those damn word mazes. That has been useless. I, who cannot figure out how to move widgets on my own blog may write a blog about how to delete spam and the empty their spam bucket so Blogger knows who is spam. I may entitle it: You don't know spam. Well, hopping down off the stump.

I don... I understand about the 3rd party thing. I don't give it out for FB but for some reason I don't mine giving G+ out. You don't really need to sign-up for commenting - you do need to give a name and email address but many blogs require that. The anonymous guest might be something I need to change in the settings. I think the avatar will not show until you fill out a profile which means you signed-up. One benefit of filling out you profile is the link to your blog being clickable on your name.lislemanhttp://afcsoac.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-60062961408618751342012-05-15T19:02:38.437-05:002012-05-15T19:02:38.437-05:00 even as a commenter it will collect your comments... even as a commenter it will collect your comments made on all the disqus using blog all in one place for you.

By "google" I'll assuming you are referring to blogger (own by google). There was a big difference for awhile but now blogger has updated their comment system. Not too long ago you were not able to reply to individual comments like I'm doing right now. Blogger has this now but I like how Disqus put all my comments (by me or on my blog) into one location. They also have a "blacklist" setting which is nice for keeping spammers out.<br />thanks - oh I don't care much for word verification but there is an interesting application of it that you can learn about on youtube.lislemanhttp://afcsoac.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-67859613117423855532012-05-15T18:32:24.118-05:002012-05-15T18:32:24.118-05:00I get very irritated when I have to type in those ...I get very irritated when I have to type in those non-existant words for verification.
