Technical problem

We are having some problems with the White Rose comments system (as in "it is completely buggered up" sort of problem). This has been caused by the installation of some comment anti-spam defenses over on Samizdata.net, which shares server space and some system resources with White Rose.

We hope to have the comments up and running again soon. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Update: Fixed! The comments are now working fine once again

Just testing the fix.

All right, seems to be "not completely buggered up" anymore.

Since this anti-spamming trickery is all part of the free society (as opposed to state interference) answer to spamming, I hope a technical query about it is acceptable here.

The six digit number I just copied is a graphics file which is not scanable or copy-and-pastable, right? So that means a commenting "machine" can't handle it, and spam comments have to be done by hand, which defeats the point of the exercise.

Have I got that about right?

Brian, that is entirely correct

What was the bug? I'm having my own problems implementing this code.
