I feel no need to defend my choice until I receive an angry comment from someone who CAN'T actually read the code. That’s right - until I get a comment from someone who can't post, I am convinced that at least 99.97% of the world thinks that this code thing is the best idea ever on the internets.

As it happens, I can read the code you use. And I know there are valid reasons for requiring codes right now. Fair enough.

But a site like YouTube is impossible for me to use. I can comment  3 times before the code kicks in. I have two degrees in English, a law degree, and an MBA, and they are USELESS to me here. I cannot convey the frustration of trying to figure out the letters and type them in - and then to be told I was wrong.

I'm fairly certain Spam Karma 2 whips out captchas if needed, which is more flexible than an always-on captcha. Try the highly effective combination of [Spam Karma 2] and [Bad Behavior].

I had it on WP 1.2 for some time, I then started to get a lot of spam about 2 months later. It turns out that the image this plugin generates is 100% passable.
