By default blogger blogs are designed to show word verification when visitors comment in a post. Though this is a very useful tool to avoid spam, but real users often get bored by this option. Besides blogger has an automatic spam checking tool. So you can remove the word verification option from the comment in order to let your visitors express their opinion easily.
While commenting on blogger blogs or other websites you may face a word challenge. And this is a very common thing. Specially when you open any online account. Sometimes words used in the verification option are too hard to guess. And users are very annoyed with this.
Look at the image above. When you comment on blogger blogs or someone comments on your blog he/she will face a challenge like this. Normally this option doesn't show any hard challenge. But sometimes they are also difficult to guess. Users have to try this again and again. If they are annoyed they will loose interest to express their opinion.
Since blogger has its own spam detection technique, you can remove it from your blog. Instead of showing captcha you can allow only registered users to comment on your site. That means you can disallow the anonymous visitors to write comments.
To Disable Word Verification:
- Make sure you're signed in to your blogger account.
- Go to the Settings from the left pane.
- Now hit on Post and Comments option
- Move to the Comments option.
- Find Show Word Verification. Select No.
- Hit on Save Settings.
From now users will not face any verification while commenting on your site.
But there is a problem too. If you remove or disable captcha from comment option then you may notice too many spam comments. Even after blogger checks the spam. Here you can use another technique.
To Avoid Anonymous Comments:
- Go to the Settings.
- Then move to the Post and Comments option.
- Look at the Comments section.
- Who can comment? Select- Registered User.
- Now hit on Save Settings.
This is very easy. Even you don't need to write the full post. Just look at the image below. You just need to set your comment options as the image shows below:
Thank you so much, I didn't realize until a fellow blogger commented to tell me :)
ReplyDeletebut in new blogger. who can comment option is not coming... then what to do??
ReplyDeleteI'm not getting your point. What new blogger? Sometimes comment option delays due to the slow net connection. Because the comment option of blogger is relatively heavier.
DeleteOr if someone disables the comment in his blog or blog posts then you can't comment there.
Now what is your problem? Where do you wanna comment? Please reply . . .
Thanks! This was very helpful!
