The following Bloggers have all either switched off word verification, or chosen not to use it on their blogs. Will you follow?
Crunchy Carpets - Blog one and blog two.
Melissa - Grossly Unimaginative.
This post shows my opinion on why you should turn it off for a while, and Skittles started this off a while ago. If that’s not incentive enough, anyone agreeing to turn it off, or commenting against it will get a link like these blogs.
If you do nothing else blog-wise today, why not visit the above blogs and leave a comment saying thanks for turning it off? After all, it’s easier now you don’t have to decipher the word verification…

Hey! I did it too — when Barb asked in the first place — and actually it hasn’t worked out too bad. I’ve only had to delete one really spammish comment.
Does “spammish” qualify as a word?
That is a great idea!!!
I think I will spread the word!!!
[...] Skittles asked us nicely and now Thermal is challenging us all to switch off our WORD [...]
I’m commenting against it. I’ll not go so far as to say I hate it, because I guess that for some it has a use. Although like you ask, it would be interesting to know just how many spam comments it filters.
I’m on WordPress and the Aksiment (sp?) plugin is enough to keep me right.
Akismet does the job for me as well.
Spammish will do for me!
Bee told me about turning off the word verification. I’m glad I did! No problems since.
Applause! Someone once told me she got over 50 spams a day.. then I remembered who said it..
Wonder who you could mean? Perhaps she annoyed lots of people who signed her up to dodgy mailing lists
I’d never do anything like that….
Thanks for the link love!! and for getting people to turn of the WV!
I’ve never had it on!! Never ever! Where’s MY link, huh, huh, huh???
Calm down Asara, there’ll be another update shortly…
oh.
ok.
*breathes*
I’m better now. Thank you.
