Is anybody else getting a bunch of spamming comments advertising drugs with a link to a website? I am deleting like 9 of them a day for the past 3 days. I have reported them as spam.
Nope. But there have been episodes like this before. I hope this isn't the start of another one. HP's spam filters are usually pretty good with dealing with this kind of stuff.
I get quite a few on one of my hubs on green apples. But, since you write about dogs a lot, I'm sure you'd have health care for dogs or something on those lines? I'm guessing that's where this kind of spam is gonna be max!
Sounds like the ones that are spamming one of my sites, I am getting about 50-100 comments per day all selling the same drugs.. my filter is catching them so that none get published and they go straight into spam but they still insist on spamming my site hour after hour and have been doing so for about two months now...
Nice.. I like it...But in place of removing their comments you can remove link from their comments.
Yep I've been deleting a lot for 'pay day loans'. On my own sites I am able to edit the comment so I remove any links and keep the 'good bits'

This might be my last forum post because I am tired. I can't be wasting my time beating a dead horse.HP is a business and they need to start treating their business more seriously. They need a task force to sit and brain storm about how to keep spammers out in the first place.I know that I have...

Is anyone else getting spammed in their Hub comments?I've received about a dozen nonsense SPAM comments since yesterday that were utter nonsense.

I just noticed that comments I delete from the 'comments' section on my accounts page are not being deleted from the actual hubs. One of my hubs gets spammed a lot by people posting links and email addresses for 'quack' healthcare. I have clicked the 'spam' button and then clicked...
