Yesterday I took down my personal blog which was at histrel.me.uk/blog - why? Because since around 13th May the amount of spam comments I have had to moderate has been in the region of 10+ per day. I had a few before that but not on this scale. I got fed up of seeing them in my inbox and, as I wasn’t doing much with the blog anyway, I decided to back-up and then delete it. For now.
Not being into spamming I was curious - how does it work? Was my blog address submitted to somewhere? If I set up the blg again will the same thing happen?
As I always moderate none of the spam actually appeared on my site so what was the point?Is it just a thrill from knowing someone’s being annoyed by all the spam? Very childish if you ask me.
Any advice gratefully received

Sharon, I have the same thing going on with my blog. As of right now I have over 3000 spam comments to moderate. I get about 20 or more a day. I am going to back up my blog and take it down for now since I don’t really post there any longer. I would love to know the reasoning behind spamming a site where your spam will never be seen except by the person deleting it. What a waste of energy.
