Is anyone else getting spammed in their Hub comments?
I've received about a dozen nonsense SPAM comments since yesterday that were utter nonsense.
Yes, in a major way. I have been deleting them. I think the best thing to do is just delete them and ignore them. Don't by any means follow their links. There is no telling where they lead and what kind of viruses or malware you could be infected with.
Yes, I have and it's obnoxious. I asked this very question the other day and several other hubbers confirmed that they too were getting a lot of spam comments on their hubs. Fortunately, the system is recognizing them as spam, but it's still necessary to go through them individually to delete them forever.
Yes absolutely! I got well over 50 to 60 yesterday and more today. I am spending forever deleting them. Very annoying.
me too-- I've had a gazillion in the last 48 hours or so-- totally spammy links by obviously non native English speakers-- some of the spam seems to be in German or Dutch as well. I went though my spam folder and deleted them all. ( to do this go to comments and select spam rather than unmoderated and start deleting) I was amazed at how many there were.
This too will pass, I guess:-)
I've been fortunate so far, this hasn't happened to me. I'm sure hoping my luck holds out and it doesn't start since that would be very annoying and frustrating. Sorry for the rest of you that are having to deal with this problem though. I hope HubPages catches the culprit and stops them quickly.
Yes, so many i've got, i have been deleting them last evening.
I guess I've been lucky. I see lots of questions about people getting spammed and I haven't gotten any spam in the past 2 weeks or so.

This week, several of my older hubs received comments. My delight upon hearing the news was short lived. All of them are written in horrid grammar and about half of them are clearly spam--either nonsensical code-like characters or advertisements for products not mentioned in my Hubs. Is anyone else...

I'd like to suggest that hubbers have some way, short of deleting an entire comment, of deleting unwanted links in the comments of others.It is not unusual at all (fairly common, in fact) to see otherwise worthwhile and complimentary hub comments...with a link to a service pertinent to the...

This morning I was surprised to find I had 11 new hub comments! Considering I'm lucky to get 1 every 3-4 months I wondered if I was fortunate enough to have a HOTD. To my disappointment, every comment was spam. (No HOTD...lol) Is there anything I need to do other than mark the comment as spam? How...

Anyone else having trouble responding to hub comments?I keep getting bounced off when replying to a hub comment, not sure what I'm doing differently today.

Pretty much like one would have it on a blog - with the difference that I am talking about hubtivity here.I had posted a single comment to one of the hubs a while ago. I am not too interested in the topic, just wanted to share my experience and forget. Well, the thing is - for many months this hub...

I've only written a handful of Hubs so far, and I knew that I would encounter this issue due to the nature of my writing. I have one Hubber who continues to post personal insults in the comments of all of my Hubs. This individual has also indicated that he votes down my pages because he...
