Rose City Reader: It seems to go in spurts, doesn't it? I hate word verification...but sometimes there is no other choice. Anna: I have comment moderation on for new commenters only...and my spam filter seems to be catching most of these...but it annoys me nonetheless. Allie: I've been getting those chinese characters as well!!! Good for you for checking to see if they were legitimate...I just deleted them *laughs* I have found that shutting comments off of posts which are getting hit hard helps. I wait a day, then turn comments back on and they seem to go away. Kathy: It is so frustrating, isn’t it?

At first I was concerned about censoring them b/c I certainly don't want to not approve a comment just because it's not in English. But then I plugged the comment into Google Translate and it was some kind of ad verbage for a hair care product. It's really annoying. The same ad 2-3 times a day. . .

Not 100s, thankfully, but it is getting annoying. I don't want to have to turn word verification back on, but if it gets worse, I'll have to.
