Fairies Dreams & Fantasy Fights Comment Spam With A New Form Of CAPTCHA... And Evolves To A Multisite

We're proud to announce we are relying on a new kind of CAPTCHA by using a new plugin on our WordPress multisite. This powerful plugin what we're using is going to help keep comment spammers out of our websites. Okay, if you don't know what is invisible CAPTCHA is... its a plugin that enables you to block all comment spam at its source.

Fairies Dreams & Fantasy has also evolved into a multisite as a way to further sort content,--this is our method to unclutter our website,--after we moved from this original blog what you're currently at. This form of cleanup is still in progress,--after we have reviewed our content what we just posted on our website. We also brought our color scheme with us for the purpose of keeping our style matched to our new website.

This is why we implemented this feature:

  • Reduce resources loading on our servers. This is not limited to reducing bandwith, databases, and other important resources. Since spammers has been relying on automated scripts to send comments that are questionable. Such as unpaid advertising, unwanted affiliate links, and other comments containing email addresses hijacked by spammers around the world.
  • If you never seen these comments like this before, most likely; nobody is actually submitting a comment on your website, and there's no views of your posts or pages. Since we encountered lots of spammers flooding our resources, we tried many efforts to keep them out.
  • Now these spam comments are gone for good! Now we can able to continue writing our content like normal.
