Hi!

Some people consider math questions a problem for users with cognitive
disabilities. I always try to solve the problem on the server side
before implementing captchas on the user side. A little more for one
person (the developer) removes a lot of work for many people (users).

Recently I implemented a website where users could create comments in
a web framework called Django. When a user creates a comment (no
captcha) the comment is sent to the Akismet service
(http://akismet.com/). Depending on the reply from Akismet the comment
is presented on the website. So far Akismet has stopped a lot of drive
by spam and I have had no mistakenly flagged comments.

Akismet has code examples for many programming languages.

Kind regards,

Peter Krantz
