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"

I got a spam too, from lzs001

just a bunch of links and a comment totally unrelated to the topic I had blogged about.

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.
