 * On three seperate postings I received three long comments that appear to be pure
   gibberish. Likewise sender’s name and email address. One such reads as follows:
   
   VygFSN [tdeqlvdmtuuf](http://tdeqlvdmtuuf.com/), [url=http://nrqxehthufyk.com/]
   nrqxehthufyk[/url], [link=http://ajkqnflgmalz.com/]ajkqnflgmalz[/link], [http://hjarjytazgde.com/](http://hjarjytazgde.com/)
   Any way to avoid future attacks? Motivation of sender?

 * I get those too and don’t know what they’re for. I assume you’re moderating comments?

 * Do you have the akismet plugin enabled?
 * That should stop the huge majority of this kind of spam.

 * Thanks to John and Sam. Their advice taken and plug-ins installed. Should do 
   the trick. Much obliged. Dan (writersnotebook.org)
