|

Hi All,
Has anyone dealt with this? I seem to have random links in people's comments on my blogs - all commercial links. It isn't the individual commentor that is doing it, it seems to be something from outside, placing links randomly, in the middle of sentences. It renders comments illogical, and must be as frustrating to readers / commentors as it is to me. How to stop this? Please email me with any ideas, it would be much appreciated. Thanks much.

I think you're looking at spam comments, and yes the commenter is doing it. I think you are just not recognizing the commenter as a spammer in the first place. I looked at your blog, and saw the comments you are referring to... Those are spammers, and you should just do a Delete and Block on those comments from the control panel. They are not real commenters, they are spammers. |

Thanks John, I think you are right - I didn't recognize it. God, these people are slimy! |

Just for everyone's info, I went back and studied the comments and noticed that the ones with commercial links were all coming from the same IP address, albeit with different user names. It's all the same person.
Thanks again John. |
