Just Thinking

In the last couple of weeks I have been subject to "Idiotic and Annoying Spammers" on both my blogs. In the last 3 hours, 26 messages advertising illegal drug supplies and the like have been posted to my blog. They do not appear because I have to say "yes" or "no" to each messages to prevent spam. This has been going on for several weeks and I have succeeding in getting one web page account closed but not yet got the spammer kicked off his ISP. It is wasting many hours of my time and the idiots are getting no benefit.

If you have sent a message to my blogs in the last couple of weeks then it is not likely to be seen by me. I will post an unpate when this is all over and I can read my comments again without having to wade through hundreds of spam for each real comment.

This is now solved I hope. Advice to anyone that has b2evolution is to make sure that trackback is turned off on all blogs. It is a great big hole for people to send spam to your blog. One good thing though - the spam helped lift my blog up the google ratings :-)
