Annoyingly Subject to Word Verification

I can’t read your word ver­i­fi­ca­tion. Likely this com­ment won’t get posted which is annoy­ing after I took the time to type it.

How many peo­ple do you annoy by using word ver­i­fi­ca­tion (of any kind) on your blog read­ers? How many com­ments have not even been made just because you demand they type an annoy­ing code they can’t read, or choose not to bother with?

In my case, I don’t use any­thing but mod­er­a­tion. That means I approve com­ments before they are posted. It’s a sim­ple thing and it works. What really does tick me off are sites where I am expected to use the word ver­i­fi­ca­tion and they mod­er­ate com­ments too. One or the other should be suf­fi­cient. Why am I wast­ing my time and patience typ­ing in word ver­i­fi­ca­tion if you (the blogger/ site owner) are still hold­ing it back to approve anyway?

You may think word ver­i­fi­ca­tion isn’t a big deal, but I hate it. I usu­ally will not leave a com­ment when it is being used.
