Sorry my dear readers, I am experiencing a lot of spam lately. Therefore I had to change the settings to "moderating each comment before publishing".... sigh.
I want to make it as easy as possible for people to leave a comment on my blog. Good people that is.
And I want to make it impossible for bad people to infect my blog.
Unfortunately I cannot find a good Spam-programme on Blogger, so I need to resort to this measure.
As there are friends who want to leave comments without a digital trace. Which means I have to leave comments open to anyone.
Don't you hate criminals?

Ugh! I have two different spam guards on my blog, and a few still sneak into my spam area. Yuck. Sometimes real comments find there way in there too. I try to get them out ASAP. Sorry Greetje. This is just the way it is.
ReplyDeleteIt is a comfort to share this missery with you. As we say in The Netherlands: shared sorrow is hakf a sorrow (literally translated).
DeleteI'm ok with moderated comments. Spammers have nothing to do here!
ReplyDeleteBut it is nicer when you immediately see your own comment. Perhaps my computer guy can help me.

ReplyDeleteGreetje Thanks for trying to solve this problem. I, who am a faithful follower of your blog, I fully understand your intention. Do not worry, I will follow the same, but you put it complicated, LOL. :)

This is all a bit new to me. Learning every day.
DeleteYou did the absolute right thing. I actually had folks posting article on my site, and when I finally realized, it was because I did not secure the author settings.....xoxo
ReplyDeleteWe live and learn...
DeleteYes, hate the criminals! Totally understand and hopefully it works for you.
ReplyDeleteIt used to be so nice, it used to be so good (after ABBA).
