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 [1] humorous, but still… Since that was what I wanted to avoid, I am now trying out a new comment spam deterrent: [2] 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 :grin:
