Commenting on Blogs With Captcha or Requiring Your Email

Rhipple Media

I always like to leave comments on blogs but once its compulsory to leave my email or annoying captcha, Im gone. Do you have any of these features on your blog? It discourages me from leaving a comment. I dont have it, makes commenting easier. I know it has its benefits but I dont like distributing emails like that nor leaving fake email.

I have this feature on my blog and have no problems with leaving my email.
I have nothing to hide neither be ashamed of so I do not see a problem.

Why dont you have a email just for commenting and all other internet stuff, if you are not fond of giving your real one?!

I meant I have a email verification, not captcha system, but many people have their blogs on Bloggers and over there every single comment need that, I personally dont mind. I only comment when Im really interested and like the blog....

I hate the captcha, but I don't have a problem with leaving an email. I have an email just for internet stuff and I put that one down in those cases. Plus, if I put down an email, i hope that means I'll get notified if my comment gets a reply.

I just hate captcha, alternate email is the best I guess.

Agree with the captcha being annoying...about the email, I'm not a big fan either, but I don't have any problem leaving it if I'm really interested on that blog and I'm planning to come back and comment more than once or I'm interested in knowing if I got a reply, just like Audrey said.

I dont have a captcha and they really annoy me on other blogs. I have tried to leave comments a few times, and for some reason the captcha doesn't get approved and then i get frustrated and give up. So im not going to put it on muy blog.

I don't mind leaving an email address, and I do have this on my blog. I always use the same email address on blogs, so I dont see this as a problem. Like Audrey, I also use this email as my notifications for responses to comments etc.

I also have comment Luv on my blog ;0)

I disabled captcha on my blog because it is very difficult or impossible for those who are visually impaired to leave a comment. I have problems reading captchas myself and wish that people wouldn't use them, but I don't have a problem leaving an email address.
