| This is what I found in my blog.... |
Folks and pals, there has been a spam invasion on one of our older blogs.
They are being a bit sly and cowardly, to not put their junk in this current blog...
Petcretary has made it so that for now at least you will have to confirm you are not a spammer and only those who have valid ID's may comment. I have had about 30 spams in the space of about 2 minutes. Such a frustrating mess.
I reported this to Google but who knows when they will find my message...
Thanks for understanding.

| Hope it will soon stop. |
I am so sorry that happened, I had contacted you about it when I first saw it, not sure if you got that email. Might be because that blog is sitting idle. catchatwithcarenandcody
ReplyDeleteYup, its idle, and I do not know how to add it too this active one, other than flashbacking each page to here, then deleting the idle blog. Yikes, sounds like work...sigh... I didn't see that email. Hmmm. Thanks for trying though. My inbox was going to crash if I didn't take care of it quickly.
Deleteguyz......we haz had that happen ta uz, {posts} and other palz... ther hole blog. google iz prettee good at stoppin crap... use a lee within like 48...tell petcretarry ta use R old palz...copee N paste...her can copee N paste stuff her wantz ta save N put it on "word" or send ta an email.... til her can get all de stuff transfurred......we hope we R makin centz ☺☺☺♥♥ ♥♥
ReplyDeleteI have also changed the visible to search engines, for the 'inactive blogs and actaully rendered them as invisible but only visible to me. I might try that C/P feature, Tabbies:)
DeleteI had to disable comments on Nellie's blog to stop the Spam over there. And I have set Marv's blog not to accept any comments that are made on posts more than 2 weeks old. I knew some of it was coming from Facebook mining (which is why I did not publish Marv's blog there until I got all my permissions straight).
ReplyDeleteAnd when I tightened up things on Marv's blog, some of our furrends posts went to spam...Its not much fun!

Yes, I see that 'closed comments' when I come by belatedly, MOL! Serves me right, eh?!
DeleteWhen I got home from work this evening the spam bots from the same place had added a ton more. I made them all go 'poof'!
So sorry. We get lots of spam. Fankfully, our spam ketcher is purretty good. We luvved your selfies too. Purrayin' everypawdy has a pawsum Easter. Big hugs
ReplyDeleteLuv ya'

Thanks, Dezi & Raena.
DeleteI do also get a fair amount of spam in my regular email, but my 'mailwasher' program can make them vanish, and i can read where they came from, and send them right back as undeliverable. But comments on my blog have to be handled differently...
That is a nuisance. Blogger is usually very good at catching spam. I have comment moderation enabled for any posts over 2 days old.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I have changed a bunch of settings, too...
DeleteIt looks like my comment disappeared!
ReplyDeleteBlogger is usually very good at catching unwanted comments. (I didn't use the S word in case that was why it didn't publish) I have comment moderation activated for anything over 2 days old.
No it didn't Hah! It went to my moderation folder...and now I have approved them both:)
DeleteOh yeah, I saw that a while ago - stupid spammers. :-(
ReplyDeleteI want to kick them in their you know where to boot them off. I have now closed my inactive blogs to anyone but myself, that is a shame, because they held many fine posts that now are invisible. I might make them all regular features as flashbacks.
DeleteSo sorry you’re going through this and we hope things get resolved.
ReplyDeleteWe sure do too.
Deletewe saw it... it was something written in a weird language and with ugly bikes.... I wish such spammers would get electrical shocks from their keyboards while hacking blogs...
ReplyDeleteThe ones today were all in arabic. At least when I c/p'd it into a translator app; it was something about trash pick up...hey.if he picked up trash he shouldn't have dumped it in my blog!
DeleteThe one with the bikes is apparently someone who hacked into the same account via bloglovin, and those peeps are supposed to be trying to block him. I had to change the email associated with Bloglovin. ( not the same one as my regular.) Anyways now that I made the three idle blogs invisible and have comment moderation going on for this blog, I hope it stops. When its all clear I will put the blog back to regular commenting.
Perhaps we better check our other blogs. What a pain for you to deal with.
ReplyDeleteWe are trying to return after being offline for a month, but it is very slow going! Hope all is well with you.
We are all fine. We hope you are too? Just having a long time waiting for Spring to really come. Its been so cold.
DeleteWe're sorry you got spammed. We hope you could solve the problem. Purrs
ReplyDeleteOh no guys, nothing wurse than SPAM!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY EASTER and we hope mew got the extra warmz sun puddles we sent last week :)
Big hugs

We are sorry ta read about the spam. We have some stuck in our early posts that went right past our 3 day moderation and cant even be deleted. And those advertized weerd stuff like local services in China. Made no sense...
