Captchas enabled, spam begone

After a rash of spam on various blogs here on the Opera Community site, including mine, the Opera Community admins decided to roll out captchas to the blogs that have anonymous commenting enabled.
This means that you'll have to type in a code from an image that is displayed. The image is designed to be difficult for a computer to read, but easy for a human to read. As it costs a lot more money for a spammer to manually post their spam than to have a computer do it for them, spam is drastically reduced.
Please note that if you are a member of the Opera Community, you do NOT have to do this. Commenting will act the same as it always has.
