or are over zealous anti-spam tactics shooting themselves in the foot?
A while back I mentioned being unable to post comment because of black list. Today yet another silly tactic stopped me from commenting on Revnews.
Upon submitting my comment, this is what I get.
Comment Submission Error
Your comment submission failed for the following reasons:
In an effort to curb malicious comment posting by abusive users, I’ve enabled a feature that requires a weblog commenter to wait a short amount of time before being able to post again. Please try to post your comment again in a short while. Thanks for your patience.
Funny thing I did not post any comment before this. It was the first comment I’m posting to the site.
I waited for a short amount of time. Try again. No luck. Tried 3 more times. Gave up and decided to write this post instead.
Ask yourself, are you killing spam or killing usability (and user’s patience)?
