But not for some time. I guess I must have left their radar ;).<br /><br />It's annoying but I trust you will do what suits you best. I also find leaving a comment as anonymous - even You're The Best comment - to be very uncaring.<br /><br />Need to go and check Shannon's work.<br /><br />Take Care,<br />TeresaTeresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15706070037835903316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4968366178250291227.post-56202872958072379072013-03-19T10:17:25.227-04:002013-03-19T10:17:25.227-04:00I know what you mean.

I only turn them back on Occasionally if I am running a contest for a company. I did not look, but I am sure you have your email on your blog if people want to get a hold of you. I felt a little bad because that means only people with a google account can comment, but it sure saved my sanity!<br /><br />CarolThe Polka Dot Closethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509900941899875184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4968366178250291227.post-3798004197776178782013-03-17T16:17:42.615-04:002013-03-17T16:17:42.615-04:00I've been getting a ton of spam lately, along ...I've been getting a ton of spam lately, along with mentions that they "have told their friends about my blog" or "bookmarked my site". At one point, I am guessing I had to delete at least 30 or more messages a day.<br /><br />Not accepting anonymous comments stops some of it, but then some of them will be bold and comment with an account. <br /><br />I kind of go in cyles of accepting and not accepting anonymous comments. Sometimes when I don't accept them for a while, they get bored and move along for a while. <br /><br />The only reason I allow anonymous comments most of the time is because it seems I get more comments from real readers by allowing them.

I went in the settings, posts and comments and clicked on "sometimes" and limited the comments to being approved if they are on posts 90 days or older.(You can chose your number) It made a huge difference. I was getting spammed constantly and it's gone down to basically nothing. I noticed the spam comments were mostly on older posts so I think I kicked their butts! Shannon did a great job on your header! We need those little blog helpers! I know I sure do!

However, in the last month I seem to have several that made their way through. I hear ya! It is so annoying. It seems like that is why many people are going towards moderated comments.
