@Siyab: Yes, questions are good, but then again, spam bot or otherwise, most of the spam is caught well by Akismet. I use a few filtering keywords with them too, and that is all it takes.

I don’t use captchas in my forms. I just use a simple anti-bot question like ‘is fire hot or cold?’. I know it doesn’t prevent the human spammers, but at least it prevents the spam bots!

@Haris: Thanks. I guess bloggers and blog readers will know more about this, as they encounter CAPTCHAs in comment forms.

Now I can understand why there is no Captcha implemented here
