I am wondering, why spammers, bother to try to spam? Don’t they know most of their comments go into spam, and are never seen by us?
Why bother to spam at all? I hate having to go in and see what is in there, just in case I miss anyones comment, or it went into spam by accident!
I check the spam folder regularly now, just in case!
Good thing I did check it this morning, as there were 3 comments which weren’t spam, in amongst the 50 or so which were!
Its just so annoying! I think all bloggers should check theirs regularly! I’ve had issues before with comments that were legit going into spam and I don’t want that to be happening!
Do others have issues with that too, it cant just be me can it?
I know what you mean!!! I see their emails are bots too!

They are so annoying. Stupid bots! I just removed 30 or so from spam. And your comment went to spam, so you do have to check to make sure legit comments aren’t going in there!

I can have a lot now and again, but I always block before I delete. But I think some reset up with different I.D’s and try at, as I see the same thing get mentioned.. It is very annoying.
I check the spam box because ocassions I find genuine comment in there.

On each spammers comments, in the top right of each you will find user info. Click on user info and a drop down menu appears from that, with block user in red writing, at the bottom of that drop down. I block them using that first, before deleting spammers comments from the spammers menu.
If any spammers were to get in amongst comments waiting to be approved, you can do the same there too.

Have to. I don’t want to ignore a comment that falls under spam. It’s a pain in the rear end, but I have to check daily.

Yeah! I agree! It would be horrible if legit comments end up there and were deleted because I think if you dont check it after a while things are automatically deleted!

Well, I guess sadly spam and spammers are just the yucky part of blogging. I don’t normally get loads of spam, maybe about 50 or so comments per month, so I usually check it monthly so it’s not a big deal, but it certainly is annoying.

Yeah, spam is par for the cause. And it’s all automated, so even if they leave 5000 comments and only get one person clicking through to their link, it’s still worth it for them.
