Hello all! I wanted to take a moment to let you know that I am going to be turning on comment moderation and the dreaded captcha for a little while. I have been getting incredible amounts of spam comments. In order to not spend a large portion of my "blog time" dealing with these comments. I hope this comment moderation will put an end to the spam comments. I don't mind a couple, but when I am getting up to 75 or more in one day, I need to change something!
I hope that it will be short lived. I am not a fan of the captcha at all. Mainly because I am horrible at it, taking several tries to get the right letter/number combo. I hope that this doesn't deter anyone from commenting, but just know that it will not be long term!
I appreciate all of your comments, and read them all, even though I may not respond to them. Thank you for participating in the community of this blog!
Ugh! I'm ready to do it too! I just got my first 'dating site' ad in my comments. Hopefully it will blow over soon.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!

I was getting a LOT too. Do you allow Anonymous comments? When I stopped allowing those, mine went down to maybe one a week.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea! I hadn't thought of that :-) I will see how that works out!
