Spam bots leaving comments on my blog is annoying. Does anyone know how to get rid of them?

Use a blogging service that supports IP bans, or failing that, a commenting plugin service that will do it. Whenever your see a spam like comment, ban that IP address and then delete the comment. It is pretty important to delete the spam comments as fast you possibly can.

Spammers look for spam comments on blogs and if they find them they assume that the site is poorly defended. If there are one or two spam comments already on the site that haven't been deleted, other spammers figure they have a good chance of their comments surviving for a while. If you are getting totally slammed and overwhelmed by spam, you might need to increase the effort involved in leaving a comment, though this will annoy our legitimate visitors.

All of the following will help: *Require people to register for your site before commenting *During registration, require them to provide a valid email address so that you can email them a link to click on before they can comment *During registration and during comment, use a captcha script so that they have to prove that they are a real person and not a spam bot The more difficult you make it to comment, the more annoyed your legitimate viewers will get (it can hurt your traffic), but the harder it will be for the spammers. Other things you can do: Disable commenting on old blog posts. I'm assuming you want the comments to be a timely discussion.

Spammers often search for pages that are related to their product and then comment on those pages, regardless of how old they are, in hopes of increasing their page rank. Disabling comments on old posts means you have a lot less pages to police and is less likely to annoy regular visitors to your site. Good luck!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
