Months ago we turned on the TypePad CAPTCHA because of the massive amounts of spam comments that jerks were posting. People have complained about that but we don’t have hours a day to spend dealing with the crap that gets posted without it. Yesterday it came to my attention that the CAPTCHA wasn’t working and I turned in a help ticket to TypePad reporting that fact. I was informed late yesterday that there was a problem with CAPTCHA that had been fixed and they tested a comment on jkOnTheRun and said it worked fine. My own tests showed otherwise and I’ve reported again that it is still not working. The proof is how I have spent an inordinate amount of time dealing with spam comments that have been appearing continually since yesterday. I have deleted in excess of 100 spam comments and this is just from a couple of sources. Come on, TypePad! Get this resolved, you’re killing me. Time I could be spending blogging is spent dealing with this mess.
