Cyber dictionary: SPAMANNOYUS
(SPAM - ANNOY - US)
noun
modern equivalent of a pesky & annoying, time steeling & stalling - guest who moves in to your computer (sometimes to your home) - unannounced & uninvited!
For last few days I noticed new comments posted on my blogs which are completely not on subject, contain links (only Spamannoyus knows where) and lots of times are not of an 'innocent' nature...
Needless to say this 'guest' is not welcomed on my blog (or anywhere else for that matter)! I got rid of them by clicking DELETE button but ... my satisfaction of punching this button doesn't solve the problem...
Does anyone else experienced the same problem? Is there something we can do on Active Rain?
Waiting with anticipation for 'welcomed' comments from my friends...

Experience isn't expensive, it's PRICELESS!
It is the attack of the spam monsters here for a couple of days. Bob Stewart wrote a post of how to fight it... here is the link...

Hi Bo! Was going to offer our assistance but Gail beat us to it. We had been referred to Bob's blog as we were out playing in the rain. We were told he said just go to your settings and make sure you uncheck non-member comments! BTW - Love your definition, cuz it truly is annoying us!
Hi Bo, I got lots of these spam comments as well. It was sooo annoying!
Shirley - I reported few of them once I learned what I should be doing .... it is quiet right now...knock, knock ...
