In reply to: spam in 'new comments'I have installed the cookie for comment plugin now, and will monitor it for the rest of the day. I am hoping that this will end all the hand bag garbage…
Thanks for the tips and hints, I am hopeful that it will work from now on.
Thanks!Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: spam in 'new comments'Excuse me???? I KNOW it is my site, and I am trying to put an end to it or manage it better. That is why I daily delete for an hour or mark as spam, hoping that on the programming level, the marked as spam comments will not come back. The fact that I ask advice on the forum should be a sign that I am taking responsibility… The problem is that not all of us are smart enough to use code or fiddle with terminal… I also see that my example of spam has been removed. Truly funny. I ask for help and post an example, so I can make clear what spam I am talking about, and it gets removed…
Anyway, I did look up the above links (spam-destroyer and basics link) and I am trying to work this out. Askimet obviously does not work sufficiently for me.
It is so easy to just turn the question back to the asker meaning that we don’t take enough responsibility…Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: spam in 'new comments'I am deleting at least 40 a day and getting really miffed about it. I have my comments set to only publish when being approved previously, so most of the spam does not end up on my blog, but it is becoming a real drag to daily have to delete dozens and dozens. I would think there should be a way to once somebody has been marked as spam once, to be cut out for the future. The same ones keep coming over and over again though. Famous are Burberry handbags, (spelling?), example hereafter.
Having said that, I will check out the above links by Voodoo and Christine. Why is spam not taken more seriously by the blog providers? I am loosing the will to live over this whole thing…Catherine,
There is a comment on “A stack of books” awaiting approval.
