Spam
I’ve had 900 in the last few minutes, making that three lots of 800+ i’ve cleared out since 8.30.
I can’t go throguh them so if anyone was in there, i missed you, sorry 
AND… i’ve added words like slots and spray to my blacklist, so those are disappearing without me ever seeing them. So you might have to word comments carefully - because the way it’s going, i’ll be blacklisting the word “and” soon

Sounds like you need spam karma as well, it’s been so much better since installing that!

ugh, that sounds awful! I use Mailwasher to control spam, which isn’t bad although I still get a few every day. If it’s to an address you have on your site, my older son gave me a very useful hint - he said don’t EVER put a mailto: link, since that attracts spammers like honey attracts ants. Instead I made a .gif image of the email address I wanted to use, meaning that if a real person wants to email me they have to type it in rather than doing the link direct… but that’s not really a problem, and it’s saved a vast amount of spam (though not all).

It’s weird but since switching to Thunderbird for mail I never get any at all ever! Also don’t get it through the biz addy either - think its spam assasin the host uses.

You wait till your site opens Claire - i use the gif thing on BM that Sue recommends, but on OSC i actually watch people log into the comments page and fill the spam in! I get loads. Thunderbird does have fab junk filters though, which i have finally discovered, but it is the comment spam on here that is a killer!
