Using some of these methods, I believe that we've made it a bit harder for spammers to take Ish down. After some thought, I decided not to implement a CAPTCHA to separate the bots from the carbon-based commenters. There's an easy-to-implement plugin that would require commenters to input a code based on a picture to prove that they're human. But if you're vision impaired, or using a non-graphical browser, you're prevented from using it. Trip has championed accessibility, here and elsewhere, and I believe that we should do our best to make the web open to all. So no CAPTCHA yet. (Yes, there are some versions of this test that include an audio option, but not this plugin.)

So we'll see how these new changes work. Let me know if they give you trouble, OK? Thanks for your patience.
