OK, the comment spammers have found both my blogs. If you subscribe to post comments, you’ve probably gotten them in email, though Blogger has already deleted them when I show up to check. The comment spam is so entertaining that I’ve been tempted to leave them alone, but there’s always the chance that they’re linking to malware or something scary, and I don’t think any of us want to mess with that.
I believe one person here has posted legitimate comments without an account. I don’t think it’s a terribly big deal to create one, so if you are still around, anonymous commenter, I hope you’ll consider making an account. My only other alternative is to turn the Captcha back on, and that thing is just dreadful.
I agree. Some of the spam comments just make me chuckle! But I know first hand how harmful viruses can be 🙁
Also, why are you up so early?!
I'm not. It's 9:15 here, and I'm "at work" (quotes because it's telecommuting). I'm in the Eastern Time Zone. You're in Wales, right?
Dur. I didn't update the time zone when I moved from New Mexico. That's it :).
Lol! Yes, I'm in Wales and it's nearly 3pm over here. I've got a rare day off, but considering my pc problem and the two fillings I had at the dentist today, it's really not much of a day off 🙁
Come to think of it, why is it that I can't turn on Captcha JUST for anonymous comments??
You should write a letter about it!
… Actually that is a very good idea.
Google search on the issue indicates I'm not the only person with this gripe. Blogger is now owned by Google, and Google makes weird decision about Blogger in pursuit of its bigger goals. I'll probably drop a Feedback complaint, though.
