Well, I've had it. I've tried for a long time to not have to moderate comments or have word verification or not allow Anonymous people to comment, but I've just recently started receiving a whole bunch of STUPID comments from people who definitely don't speak English as their first language--I don't have anything against people who weren't born here but when they leave junky links on my blog, I do.
So, now I have enabled word verification and comment moderation and NO more Anonymous comments. If you want to leave a comment, you're going to have to be a real person who's reading my blog for one reason and one reason only: you're into vintage.
I realize that's why when I go to most of your blogs you've already upped your privacy settings. So that's that, Anonymous and Stupid. GO AWAY!
I got one of those the other day. ANNOYING. Another blogger friend of mine has been getting a crazy amount. I will happily do you word verification....
ReplyDeleteSeems like they've hit a lot of blogs lately...
ReplyDeleteYeah, wait for the advertisement ones to come along now that you've blocked anon. I have people post on years old posts "I love your blog, come check out the purses on my site....blah blah". Annoys the heck out of me.
ReplyDeleteI've been so lucky but if this started happening to me I would have to do the moderation. I still hate the verification crap, but don't mind moderation. Still I will comment cause I love you!!
ReplyDeletehugs, Linda
Christine, I know of what you speak!! They are a pain indeed! I do not mind word verification at all.
ReplyDeleteI just changed my comments settings as well but chose 'Registered Users Only' which is supposed to look after the anonymous ones. We'll see.
Happy Easter to you!
Yes I just had some really nasty comments ...really gross!
ReplyDeleteI had to do that too. They must be bots, aint nobody got time for that!
ReplyDeleteI get like 10 of those funky comments a day! No fun at all. LMAO at Miss Emmi! Aint nobody got time for that!
