I've decided to turn on CAPTCHA for a couple of weeks or so as Live Journal is being spammed by sock puppet accounts and I had twenty to thirty spam comments in my inbox.

It seems that everbody is getting spammed these days. I know of a lot of people who post their stories on this site and they've been getting spammed as well- it is a nuisance but if we ignore whoever is doing it then they'll stop.

I'd ignore it if it weren't for the fact Pottersues has nearly 3,000 journal entries and those twenty to thirty comments were made within an eight hour period. Sometimes I don't check PMs for a forty-eight hourt period even if I post an entry for that day, so that is over a hundred to two hundred comments I'll need to take care of in some form or manner. If it were a much smaller number I wouldn't have turned on CAPTCHA.
