Is it really spam?

I have been getting tons of spam messages and these last two weeks there was a lot of them! 


I went to the page where you add a new post and clicked on the COMMENT selection to see if I could delete them all at once. I was amazed when I got there and started looking at the sender's names and email addresses and many looked familiar! There were well over a hundred!!

I had legit comments there going WAY back in time that I never knew existed.  I don't know what they do with the comments marked "SPAM" and I didn't want any real bloggers to be caught up in what ever it is they do; if they do anything at all so I marked all of those approved and the rest I deleted with the SPAM option. 

I wish they had a way to block certain users but I don't see anything on that at all. 

Anyways... the point of this post is to say I am sorry for missing everyone's comments. I really wasn't ignoring you guys. I guess I will have to start checking that section to see what is there from now on. 

Oh and you spammers, get a life so I can quit hitting the spam button!

While it isn't blog related, I have noticed an increase in spam in my inbox instead of landing in the spam folder. I guess they have figured out a work around to that. Happy Saturday, Faith!

That sometimes happens to me, even though ligitimate comments have been left before.
And yes, I would love to BLOCK those true spammers!

Yes, it's annoying with spam comments. If it's not a noreply address, I report everything as spam and delete anything unrelated to the blog from the comments.

The comment before mine from William Hartmann is also spam.

I hope it gradually decreases.
