I got an email earlier indicating I had received a comment on a blog post I had made a year ago. I read the comment and found it had nothing to do with my post but did include off-site URLs. I did not follow the links assuming that it was just spam.

I went looking to find how I could delete the comment --- I could not find anything to do that... then I looked for a control to turn off blog comments... I could not find that either. I resorted to making a copy of the original post then deleting it and then reposting the blog entry...

Are there any plans to put anti-spam controls in place for the blogs? Otherwise I guess I'll be deleting my blog...

the spam comment was posted by "dress001"

Can y'all give me any direct links to these blog spam comments so I can delete them? I've gotten rid of both spammers from the site:)

Thanks for the assistance...

some more blog controls for deleting or turning off comments might be a nice thing on the wish list for site upgrades

I had the same thing happen, same user too. Reported it via email immediately, was taken care of promptly.

Guess this blog commenting spam is a new gimmick they (the spam empires) got.

Have to say that I got a spam comment too on my blog.  Here is the link:

http://www.renderosity.com/mod/blog/index.php?comment&postid=3905

It really is quite annoying and takes away from the whole spirit of the 'artist' blog.

StaceyG ( ) posted Thu, 04 August 2011 at 6:35 PM

Got it:)

I know it's annoying but unfortunately spammers always find a way. We try to get them the moment we are aware of it

 

 

Thanks

Thanks.

Maybe we can get an option to delete comments ourselves or automatically report such comments like we can with products.
