Comment Moderation

Hi all! I've just been the recipient of a tidal wave of spam from Taiwan, which is just so annoying! Until that subsides, I've turned on comment moderation. As soon as this person (or computer program) moves on, I will turn off moderation again. Do you know if there is any way to report this to Blogger?

Please don't let that deter you from commenting away freely - your comments are my favorite part of blogging!!

P.S. I did report it, so we'll see... For now, it has stopped. If there is no more after tomorrow, I'll turn moderation off again.

  2. Hi Silke, Unfortunate, isn't it? I had to resort to the same thing due to spammers. It is annoying for sure because we want to make it as easy as possible to comment. I won't let that stop me commenting, though! Hugs, Diane

  3. well, hello silke. i've been absent, as you know, tending to stella and fitting work around that. so here i am to see this inspiring photo of you and your mug! are you drinking coffee? i think so, because you and the mug are in communicon together!!!

    those damn spammers. i've been getting emails from some british colony announcing i've won a million dollars. the fantasy is lost on me for a quick moment, and i imagine sir richard squire handing me a cashier's check. hee hee

  6. I turn the buggers in to Bloggers page that deals with reporting abuse. After the last one that was UNBELIEVABLY VULGAR (and on an old post about the liturgical stole I did to boot!) I decided I was not playing nice anymore.
    Everyone I get, I get their Blogger ID and off it goes.
    I must admit, I am now getting less.....
    I guess I am JUST NOT NICE or I am fed up with good people being harrassed. We should have the option of accepting comments from certain global areas, and shut the rest off.
    Okay, off my soapbox.
    You an *reject* publishing this Silke--it won't hurt my feelings at all!

    XXOO!!

  7. Just report it to Blogger Silke. There is a lot of that going on including comments with weird signs and nothing but letters and if you click on one of the letters, it takes you to a horrible site. Report it right away. Take care.

  16. I have had some questionable asian comments, as well, is that where it is coming from? Taiwan? When I go to see who they are, there is no profile, a blog with one post with one word or something or something worse like pin-up girls etc. Sorry you are having troubles. Blessings friend.
