Howdy, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i
was just wondering if you get a lot of spam feedback? If so how do you
stop it, any plugin or anything you can recommend? I get so much lately
it's driving me mad so any help is very much appreciated.
This comment came in last week and my experience of spam on this blog is exactly the same. Can anyone offer an explanation, and even better a solution? I am marking more comments as spam as the weeks pass. And yes it is an intrusion, annoying and a bit concerning that there is such easy access to self advertising – some are also offensive and almost require surgical gloves to hit the delete button!
My own partial solution is to moderate all comments and post only the ones that are clearly interacting with the content of the blog, or which come from recognised sources.If it continues to increase it becomes a time consuming problem as well as an unasked for intrusion, and an abuse of social hospitality.
The title of the post gives two alternatives for the Acronym SPAM. If you can think of others, make sure they are printable, I'm happy to make a collection!!!
