FYI: People Using Blogger
Lately I've been getting an increased amount of spam comments from "anonymous" users, most of them in foreign languages. None are from legitimate users. I switched my settings to "Registered Users" and all of the anonymous comments have stopped! Hooray!
If you're having the same problem on "blogger," I'd suggest changing those settings. The good news..."Registered Users" includes anyone with any kind of verified ID such a Yahoo account or several other common sources, so you shouldn't lose any valid comments. At least I don't think so.
Hopefully these spammers won't find another way to get through. How annoying!
Comments
I have gotten several of these comments but mine automatically publish,so they are quite ugly in the midst of all of the other comments.
I have also been receiving requests from random companies (diamond whole sellers, hotels, apartment rentals) to advertise or offer links from my blog to their site, yet many of them are so irrelevant to my blog. I keep wondering if they just send out mass emails to bloggers???
I have been wanting to post about these strange occurances but just haven't had the time. Thanks for taking the time to share this helpful information.
