Word verification
Spammers are going crazy in the comments box at the moment; I received 10 immediately after posting the last entry, so I've had to turn on word verification for comments. I'm sorry - it's tedious, but hopefully won't be too much of a deterrent to leave your comments, because I love reading them!
I started getting hit last week...I guess it took this long for the jerks to even notice food bloggers; seems like all of us were being spammed around the same time.
ReplyDeleteHi Niki I was coming over to email you to say it was surprisingly very easy to put in the extra "security" and voila you have done it! I think that we all despise spammers more than having to put in word verification so it won't stop me from commenting.
ReplyDeleteCertainly wont stop me either! I put word verification up at F&T too - what's UP with all these spammers? I'm glad Blogger's done something so they're easier to get rid of!
ReplyDeleteOh Niki, as you could see, I had to do it too! Unbelievable, isn't it? And do these spammers really think I'll be interested in visiting their Gastric Bypass Pill site?
ReplyDeleteI might be slightly amused if the spam was well written and original, but it seems they've all copied a form comment from one another!
One would think that they would have thought about food bloggers earlier - after all, it is called "spam."
ReplyDeleteHey, it's K from Square One here... just to say hello and thanks for coming by. Like you, I treasure the comments I get (and I don't get so many of them - I suppose the upside is that I haven't been spammed either).
ReplyDeleteI've never been to a food blog before but will definitely have a look around here (given that in a few months I will have to cook things for someone other than myself to eat, I probably could do with some education...)
Won't inhibit me either! It's just a little effort, no sweat...
