Damn Word Verification

We're all talking about it.
That damn new word verification.
Why the hell did they have to change this and make it even worse than before???

I have been spammed so much of late.
This damn Michelle chick keeps spamming me and it is foul and ridiculous.
Grow the hell up Michelle....or whoever you are.
You're a major twit!

I turned off my word verification last week for 24 hrs and I got all kinds of anonymous shit that was disgusting. So I turned it back on.
That's when good ole Michelle hit me.

So what's a blogger to do?
Annoy the shit out of my readers?
I know that one gal I read has changed her comments and if I leave a comment it uses my last name. I can't seem to change it either, I have tried. So now I don't comment.
Oh well.  Daphne, I'm still reading, just not commenting.

I am going to try to eliminate this again.
We'll see how it goes.
Because honestly this new verification is a royal pain in the ass.
You can't even read it let alone the pain in the ass factor.

If this were a website of mine instead of blogger I can eliminate IP addresses.
Can we do that on blogger?
If so anyone want to share?
Drop me an email and I will be forever grateful.

Lizbeth - lucky us huh?
Hopefully the little wench has moved on to other fun things to do.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that can barely read those things. Takes me like 3 tries to get it right!

I have someone that spams under different names but they are registered blog names. It's always the same how they do it, they will slightly change something I said and comment it. Then add a link to something. It's really weird!

You can report spammers to blogger here - http://support.google.com/blogger/bin/request.py?hl=en&contact_type=spam&rd=1

And if they are persistant I would report them several times to get somebodys' attention sooner.

Mike - Thanks! This is helpful.
let this michelle bitch come back.

Thank goodness Michelle only saw fit to hit me once, so far, and moderation allows me to not publish it and inflict it on anyone that might be reading.

Margaret (Peggy or Peg too) said...

Ms. A - apparently she's been a very busy girl from what I have been reading.

I know it's possible to turn off blogger commenting and install a different system. Lots of people use Disqus.

But, that new word verification sucks balls. It's way to hard to read and Google is being totally inconsiderate to those of us who drink. hehe

Jay I couldn't agree more but disqus sucks wind too so I'm ignoring it all right now and bellying up to the bar!

I made my settings to where I have to approve anonymous and those that are more than a few days later comments. I have to giggle at the Russian hooker ones. I mean, come on, like I REALLY want to publish one that tells you how to get one :o/
Guess I should be glad Michelle hasn't picked on me yet ;o)

1. I'm with you on the word verification.. it sucks even more now.
2. I found you via Mom Taxi Julies blog... I see you are doing well with a diet. What are you following if you don't mind me asking?
I did Weight Watchers a few years ago and lost about 135 pounds. Sadly I found a lot of them too.
3. Is that a Rick Green picture up the top of your blog? I like him, he's done a few pictures for me too.

As the old song goes ...

Michelle, my belle,
You and all your spam can go to hell,
My Michelle ...

Michelle, my belle,
New verification sucks as well,
My Michelle ...

Sorry ...

I always wondered why you had the word verification. You are one of very few of the blogs that I read that has it. And it is VERY annoying. But since I just adore you I deal with it ;)
But now it all makes sense. I guess when you are famous you get spam. i have gotten none ;(

Wow, so I guess you know you have arrived when you start getting spam. As for the Russian hooker, is that why Russia and the Ukraine are dark green on my stats? Sounds like they are trolling for popular sites to hit up? And to think I thought I had a Russian fan base.
