Are any other bloggers on blogspot getting an influx of spam comments? I used to get a couple here and there and I would just mark them as spam, but they are getting out of control on the daily now!
I know! I used to have them all the time and it was really annoying. luckily the website used to just filter them out for me, but then it stopped doing that too. I suggest adding a word verification option to your comments because i did that and it stopped completely. And, I recently went back to normal comments with no word verification and have not had any spam sincce (i hope i'm not jinxing it.)
Oh poo! I was hopping not to have to add a verification as I hate when I have to do it when leaving comments on other blogs. I may just have to do it temporarily.
I noticed mine were increasing drastically, so I checked my settings and for some reason the option for captcha codes wasn't set. Since setting that, I've had a vast reduction. Hope that helps, spam is soooo annoying x
I get at least one a week, sometimes more. Very irritating indeed!! I installed the rel=nofollow attribute so the links that they post will automatically be no-follow links so it doesn't hurt my page rank. As much as I want to turn on the captcha, I just go ahead and delete them, mark them as spam and that's that!
I'd like to say I am glad I am not the only one, but it stinks that a lot of people are dealing with this. I mark them as spam as well, but it gets a bit annoying when you have to do it 10 times a day! Oh internet, when you give the good you give the bad. lol
I've noticed others bringing up the same issue, too.
On another note, I'm so happy to stumble into a vintage lover from the area, as well! I will have to remember you when I arrange a big vintage lovers meet up at the Volo Antique Mall, soon! Do you have an e-mail? I'm having trouble finding it.
I've noticed people have had have trouble with them recently.
On another note, it is so nice to stumble into a vintage lover who is not too far! I will have to remember to give you a heads up when our vintage gals meet up at the Volo Antique Mall will be, should be pretty soon. Do you have an e-mail address? I'm having trouble finding yours on here.
It's insane! I've had to switch to the captcha thing & it stopped when I did--- but like art deco dame says, it's a pain to comment. I'm going to remove it and see what happens. :/
I have not. I don't post that much, so I don't know if that makes a difference
ReplyDeleteInteresting. The majority of my spams are on a couple old old posts of mine, but just recently they are attacking my new posts.

I may have to add the captcha for a bit and see if that helps. I really didn't want to have to do that. :(

No increase in mine but please don't do the captcha code thing.I hate that and don't bother commenting on blogs that have it.
