I turned off anonymous commenting
I'm getting absolutely inundated with spam lately, so I turned off anonymous commenting, at least temporarily. I don't get many legit anon comments, so hopefully it won't be an issue. If you want to ask a question and don't want to set up a commenting account, you can always email me at cheapasf AT gmail DOT com.

Good call! I stopped getting spam the second I turned that off. There's still a few here and there at times from G+ accounts but you can report those assholes to Google from their profile page.
ReplyDeleteYes, I hope this will help! I sometimes get real people commenting anonymously, but it's rare.
DeleteOh man, I used to get insane numbers of spam comments when I used Blogger's comment system. Like hundreds a day. I think that's a wise move.
ReplyDeleteThe last few days it's been hundreds of them a day. They don't actually show up on the blog, because they are almost all on old posts, and I moderate comments on those. It's still annoying, though, because I get email notifications about them and they drown out the real comments. I am happy about this decision already.
