Is anyone else getting spam messages on their hubs?
In the past couple of hours, I received three comments on 3 random hubs of mine. The comments have nothing to do with my hubs. I looked up the ip addresses. Two were from the Netherlands. One was from Qatar.
No, not on any hubs. However, just received one on a forum post about joining a cult and what all you get if you join! Crazy
Yes, I have. Spam is out there. I've received some bitter trollish comments too.
Hi Randi, yes, I've had a few spams on my hubs. They were very general and each contained a code at the end.
Over the years I have had quite a few spam messages on a hub about loved one´s in spirit. They are very long comments, but all promoting what comes across as a witch doctor would you believe. I have hit the delete button on them all but as far as I know this hasn´t taken them off my hubs.
i still get those spam unrelated comments in my old hubs, just click spam or delete forever
I can't answer the question, however, peachy, where is the spam or delete forever button please?

I've never had this happen much before: readers (not fellow hubbers) are leaving strange comments that have nothing to do with the hub topic. They're not leaving links, so how are the comments a benefit to the commenters? Strange!

Some of the people I follow will follow 8-10 new people everyday. This fills up my feed and distracts me from what I really want to see there: new hubs published by authors I like. Can hubpages be like facebook and group them together by saying "User x is now following 5 new...
