ImageAuth

After trying SpamKarma for a few days, I have found a few bugs in it (it's still in Alpha)… It'll be a great plugin when everything gets worked out, but it was sending me email for each comment spam it deleted to the tune of a few hundred a day. Some were quite humorous, but still… Since that was what I wanted to avoid, I am now trying out a new comment spam deterrent: ImageAuth. Basically, in order to prove that you're a human and not a spam bot, you need to enter a code embedded in an image (not readable to web bots) in order to post. If you have any problems/comments on this new system, please let me know.
Note: If you get an error after entering an invalid code, please refresh for a new code and a new chance

Wouldn’t expect anything else from you. 
so, as a testament to my twisted mind, I had to read “SpamKarma” twice before I realized it didn’t actually say “SpankMe”. something is wrong with me, really.
