Does anyone know how to ban this cretin that is inundating the comment section with spam?
6 comments:
I know it sucks to change provider, but wordpress.com is really powerful and you can import your blooger account:

Cheers, Andrés
Unfortunately, the "author" of the 60 spam comments in 3 mintues this morning had a Blogger-registered name (albeit no details)....and idea of how to ban him/her?
A few more episodes like this morning's and I might have to consider a change of scenery.
I enjoy your blog, Macroman -
Really only one choice. I also prefer the wordpress blog:
Go to your "settings"
Go to "comments"
Set "comment moderation" to "always"

Contact google/blogger and inform them of the violator. Internet harassment is a punishable crime and there is a digital trail of offenses.

Easiest solution would be to ban anonymous comments, which would then allow you to easily filter any troublemakers.
