Quick Blog Rant

Ok so I have been blog-hopping a lot lately and there is one thing that REALLY REALLY makes me foam at the mouth:

Comment moderation AND word verification enabled at the same time.

Seriously guys...have one or the other - both are not necessary. If you are worried about Spam use the word verification, that is more than sufficient. I can understand comment moderation if you have experienced lots of crappy comments but if you have the moderation enabled why bother with the verification??

Yeah, I know in the grand scheme of things this is not a major thing but it just irks me....so there... sue me

    Oh don't even go there - I hate that too. I wish they would enable the "press to play" feature..

  6. Those are both of my pet peeves. When you are on a DT and visiting os many blogs it takes so long for some of those word verifications to load. I could have typed 2 more blogs in that amt of time. Music??? All I can say is most often your choice is not my choice and vice versa. That is why I don't have it on my blog.

  8. I soooo agree with you!!! There are some blogs where you have to choose the carrier, then it takes you to your password, then back to the comment screen and then word verification....grrr....annoying :-).
