BCS - (Blog Comment Spammers)

The trend to spam in the comments of a given blog seems to really catch up - they typically start of with a compliment and then sneak in a nice keyword loaded anchor link to their "services" and hence turning your blog comments into a link farm.

For samples - have a look at the comments to the previous stories in this very blog which is by no means a busy blog. I guess we will soon be at a level where all comments will have to be monitored before actually going live - keeping each other busy...

Klaus, if I were you, I'd switch on comment verification found under comments moderation tab on the control panel for this blog, whereby, one will need to key in a bunch of pre-defined letters and numbers displayed on screen in order to successfully enter in a comment.

Comments verification on blogspot works good, alternatively you could switch to Word Press (wordpress.org) and get more controls for BCS (Blog Comment Spammers)or CS (Comment Sploggers) as they're also known.

Have fun with at it!
