My blog got spammed to death last night. That is something that never usually happens as long as I at least have word verification on. Spam has always been the real downer to blogging, I must say. I hate word verification, but it is a necessity for most bloggers. Then, I just hate moderating my comments. So, hopefully the spamming will not occur okay, or I will have to. I haven't had moderation on my blog in years, so I am a bit discouraged at the idea.
Anyway, if I missed any spam or you notice any new ones, feel free to let me know!
***Edited to add: Okay, more spam. So annoying! For the moment I just turned on comment moderation for posts older than 14 days, but if this continues I might have to make it all the time!
I got rid of word verification on my blog and just moderate all comments instead - only two spam comments so far (one of which was automatically filtered into my spam inbox by Google, so it does work sometimes!). I feel happier monitoring all comments myself before they are published.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Kelly--that just sucks!!! Hope that's the last you see of it for a while.
ReplyDeleteAwww: I'm sorry Kelly! I like that Wordpress automatically takes care of 99% of the spam.
ReplyDeleteThat's one huge reason I love Wordpress. No spam to worry about. Hope the spammers stop targeting you.
ReplyDeleteSpammers are such pains in the arses!!
ReplyDeleteSorry they found you! I've tried various spam-avoidance techniques, but the most effective so far was disabling anonymous comments for just a few days. It broke some of the chains of spam that came regularly before that.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. :)
