It prevents spam bots and it is quite fun for posters. I think a captcha is totally necessary on a blog. It prevents spam bots and it is quite fun for posters.

I rarely get false positives with Akismet. As for CAPTCHA systems, I think people on the Internet should start embracing them since it's not too much trouble---so long as the challenges are doable. Other people swear by Spam Karma rather than Akismet. I agree, who wants lazy commenters? If they're going to get something out of your site by commenting, might as well play by the rules. I think having both would be good. There are still spam comments that Akismet fails to catch --- even if comments are only allowed for registered users AND registration is turned off. It's impossible but I still get spam. I think it varies from person to person. I rarely get false positives with Akismet.

Akismet has been giving me problems, so I think I'm gonna switch. reCAPTCHA seems to be accessible too! Akismet has been giving me problems, so I think I’m gonna switch.

Based from experience, I think Akismet's main knock is the fact that valid comments and trackbacks tend to fall through the cracks and find their way into your spam folder. On the other hand, reCAPTCHA might turn off lazy commenters. But then again, who wants lazy commenters? hehe I haven't used reCAPTCHA yet. I've been with Akismet since I started blogging.
