Either the spammer managed to work out an OCR bot that was even better than reCAPTCHA‘s very own, or the reCAPTCHA WordPress Plugin simply isn’t working for me.

EDIT [4:15 pm]: Wow, I went to my Global Dashboard to check out my stats just now, and alas I see this:

Search term ‘defeat recaptcha’

I Googled just those two keywords, and found my earlier post about a spammer targeting only one post as the very first result! Wow, seriously…

I’ve installed the Comment Timeout plugin just to be a bit stricter. Besides, right now BoltPress isn’t gathering many readers, and those already reading my blog don’t bother to leave comments, so why leave old posts open to spammers?
