How to stop Blogspot spammers?

If you’ve turned off your comment moderation inside your blogger account, you won’t be able to stop those nasty spammers. Well, it’s just based on my experience. I don’t know how to stop Blogspot spammers if my comment moderation is turned OFF. The best thing to do it delete all spams that was posted in each entry. Now, that’s a lot of work…

To prevent this your should always turn your comment moderation ON, and approve comments that you think it’s not a spam.

But, how will you determine if it’s a spam or not? If your keen enough, you will notice that these spam messages were repeatedly copy-pasted over and over again. It will contain such messages like: Wow Nice Blog, You have a great article, or stuffs like, Visit our websites, or visit this with so many links containing various websites that might catch your interest. Most of these links contains adult stuff, breast enhancers, and many other links similar to it.

I hope Google will add a spam filtering feature to blogger, like Akismet or Spam Karma that is only available to Wordpress. Maybe there is one, but I still don’t know what it is, or where to find it…

The main reason why I posted about this spamming thing is because I was suffering from a serious human-like comment spammer. My old posts, starting from October 2006 was spammed by this robot from titanichost.com. If anyone of you here, who knows how to stop this threat, kindly leave me a comment, and help me stop this spam :(

    So, 2 years later, do you already know if there is a spam filtering feature for Blogger/Blogspot users? :smile:

    The only way I know is to use Blogspot’s captcha feature. :mrgreen:

    Turning comment moderation ON is of little help. It still requires rejecting literally THOUSANDS of comments. I’m having the same problem that Jehzeel is with SPAM comments that reference the titanichost.com and 43i.org websites. It’s costing me many, many, many hours of work.
