They finally got to me. You'd think they would have gotten to me sooner but I've been lucky.
Actually, I consider myself luckier than most that I haven't had to do this sooner.
Read this Mr/Mrs Anonymous aka Mr/Mrs. Spammer.
Forget this blog!
I apologize to those few people who upon occasion use the anonymous function to comment (like my cousins- love you!)
And to my readers that I have to make you put up with the inconvenience of comment moderation. (sorry- love you too!)
I have for the sake of my sanity blocked all anonymous comments as of this post.
I can no longer stand the huge volumes of crap comments I'm getting on a daily basis.
Darn spam.

I have noticed an increase as well - what a drag!
ReplyDeleteSo far Blogger is catching the spam except for a few on my blog, but I have noticed more coming through. I haven't gotten to stop anonymous comments yet, but I'm sure if it becomes more of a hassle I will. Thank you for not doing word verification; that drives me crazy!
ReplyDeletebetty
yup, me too. I now have to the 'must approve comments before posting' in place... only because I really hate that captcha thingie. ;) but I don't hate those who use it.
ReplyDeleteI agree Robyn this is the lesser of two evils. I don't care to use that captcha thing but I guess I can't blame people who use it at this point :)
DeleteI was getting a lot of spam comments until I changed my setting to registered users, includes open ID. I was afraid I would have to put the word verification back up...but it took care of it.
ReplyDeletecount me in too. I don't do the word captcha but I moderate. Those comments are so annoying.
ReplyDeleteSpam sucks. I moderate first time comments on my blog. Made the spam go way down. I guess it's part of territory.
ReplyDeleteSpam is so frustrating! I delete 10 for each "real" comment I publish. Such is blogging life I suppose! LOL! ~Angela
ReplyDeleteWhat is it that makes our blogs a target I wonder?
DeleteI was getting massive spam too lately. I'm not moderating comments but did block anonymous comments and that did the trick. I can't think of more than once or twice that I've got an anonymous comment anyway except for the spam. I just don't get what the spammers get out of doing it.
