Especially for older posts. When I first turned on comment moderation (only for posts older than two weeks) where the e-mail notification is separate, I had at least two or three comments sitting in the queue for more than two weeks. <br /><br />And yes, I've definitely seen more spam than ever in the past fortnight! The amount has been ridiculous, actually!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-64828631580740927662012-10-26T08:46:28.665+11:002012-10-26T08:46:28.665+11:00Oh, no, Tanja, these anonymous posters are just sp...Oh, no, Tanja, these anonymous posters are just spammers - it's all advertising. I don't even think they're real people, because when I happen to check my stats right after I get a spam comment, it looks as if no one's commented at all. <br /><br />I did get a nasty comment from an anon about a month ago and I turned comment moderation on for posts older than two weeks after that. She attempted to post SIX more nasty comments but they're just going to sit in the moderation queue forever. I'm not going to give her the attention she wants. But this move was not prompted by her, in any case. :)Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-88031641434627702382012-10-26T08:43:29.144+11:002012-10-26T08:43:29.144+11:00Turning the word verification back on would probab...Turning the word verification back on would probably help in my case but when it was on, legitimate commenters were having issues getting their posts to go through. Ugh! So this was the only solution, unfortunately. I haven't had any spam comments since yesterday, so it may have done the trick.

I don't get notifications about them, so perhaps that makes it less annoying. Maybe you can turn off the notifications. I do check the spam comments once a week since sometimes there are legitimate comments that get routed to spam. I've also seen an ge increase in spam comments in the last two weeks, so maybe something is going on with blogger and spamming robots.Apple Valleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15211791410107503046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-64935150604775027152012-10-25T18:59:35.102+11:002012-10-25T18:59:35.102+11:00Maybe it's just me, but I just don't get t...Maybe it's just me, but I just don't get there people! If you don't like a blog just leave it, you don't <i>have</i> to comment! Nobody forces you to read and comment!<br /><br />It's kind of sad that you were forced to take these kind of actions, but understandable. I haven't had any of these spam-comments, but Sullivan is way better than my blog :)<br /><br />I hope it doesn't stop your 'real' anonymous readers from commenting!Tanjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054869544598274885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-70648967018713604342012-10-25T17:08:49.305+11:002012-10-25T17:08:49.305+11:00Thankfully, I only get spam comments occasionally,...Thankfully, I only get spam comments occasionally, and that without having word verification or any other protective measure in place.
