Definitely have seen more spam in the last week than for the last month or two. I don't moderate my comments and the Google spam filter does not seem to bad, letting through only a few at most. It does not take much time for me to process the spam so not concerned by it. But that is just for me - sounds like you have enough volume for it to be annoying :-(Shaun Travershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691522858410783769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6502298319772392881.post-88760499772839464382024-02-02T21:32:05.069+00:002024-02-02T21:32:05.069+00:00I moderate my blog.

I certainly don't manually report them to Google, I rely on its spam algorithms.<br /><br />For some reason the bots like my post on QRF R35s. I'm always flattered to get spam from the "Peter Hook".
