What the Hell?

So, why am I getting a steady stream of SPAM comments all of a sudden?  I hear nothing from anyone except for fucking bots... excuse my language.  I have pretty much had it with this whole "cyber" experience.  So frustrating.

Is anyone else seeing this issue?  Is anyone out there?

Peace,
Kate

  1. Hi Kate, sorry for not commenting more. I had to switch on comment moderation on my blog for a while as I was getting so much spam. The spambots seem to have been busy over the last month or so.

  2. Hi Jenna,

    No worries, it is not the lack of friend comments that is getting me; it's that every post I put up now seems to get bot-comments with junk links on them. I didn't want to make commenting difficult on this blog, because I know how frustrating that can be for people. Unfortunately, I may have to go there for a while.

    Nice to hear from you! I hope all is well,
    Kate

    1. Hi Kate,
      I'm so used to having to do the verification words bit when I comment on people's posts that I don't think about it now. Whatever makes life easier for you is the way to go.

      Things are fine here. Have had a few days without my family, son is in Ireland for a week, partner has gone to her sisters for the weekend to help look after our niece, picking her up later today.

      I've had lots of me time which has been nice.

    1. I recently allowed a couple new directories to list my blog, and I suspect the issue is with one of them. Now, if I could only remember where the heck those were! Ha ha.

  5. Hiya Kate, just started looking at your blog after finding that you're following mine. So welcome and hello! I used to get metric tons of blog spam myself and it was quite the pain in the tush. Then blogger added spam controls and a folder and I turned on comment moderation and registration. Now it's rare that I get any. You'll get there Luv, it's a whole new world.

    1. Hi Samantha,
      Welcome, and I hope you enjoy reading along! Thanks for the encouragement. I have enabled the word verification, so we'll see if that fixes it. I want to avoid moderating if I can, but that may be the next step.

      Hope you are well!
      Kate
