WHY AM I GETTING ALL THESE CRAZY SPAM COMMENTS??

Makes me want to get real ugly and go spam their sites.  If it wasn’t what they WANTED, I would.

    Have you checked your Spam Karma settings from your admin control panel? Make sure it’s turned on and working. I don’t see the Spam Karma footer on your blog here (which tracks how many spam’s the program has captured) so maybe it’s not activated yet or something.

    If you think there is a problem you should email Andrea and let her know. Maybe it’s malfunctioning for some reason. It seems to work great for me, although every once in a while - maybe once a month - one will sneak through (which I just delete). Hopefully things will return to normal for you soon!

    I have gotten those in the past also…as many as 18 in a minute. It ended up just stopping on its own. Check with Andrea though and see if there is a problem but I don’t think it is anything to worry about. I do know how frustrating it is though!

    Where’d they show up at? I recently changed the SP2 settings so it was automatically on for everyone. Also, I’m the only one that can get to the confusing admin panel. But! it should be catching them. Did they go into moderation? Did you have to clean them out of there? Or are you getting a bunch of notification emails that SpamKarma caught a bunch?

    Sadly, there’s not much more than that I can do to stop them from trying to leave as much spam as possible. If I could, I’d be a zillionaire.

    THey went into ‘moderation’ . . . and I deleted them from there, but it took me 20 minutes, until I saw the delete all button at the bottom. I haven’t gotten anything from spam via email, though.
