Hello

Is there a way to make annoymous commenters enter a scrambled code into the comment box before they post to prevent spam bots posting on your Gallery? I know you can do this with CuteNews (news content management system where people can post comments on news articles), but is it possible to have this feature on Gallery 1?

That is called "captcha" and is/will be available in Gallery 1.6.
