Comment moderation
Because of a sudden huge increase in the number of fake comments from advertizers, I'm introducing comment moderation. That means genuine comments might be delayed a short while before appearing. Apologies.
The way I cured this was to enable word verification, as advertisers generally use bots which cannot get past this system. Have you considered this option?

Can you not set up Blogger so that people with a history of previously approved posts are pre-approved for moderation?
Hi Bob
I cannot figure out how to do that. If you know, please tell me!
Blogger is fairly basic. Hopefully they'll give up after a while in which case I'll drop the moderation. But at the moment I am being inundated.

Hello Evo
Yes we are quite matey, generally. Though I did slightly lose my rag with the Young Earth creationist at the end (because he wouldn't be honest).
Psiomniac - I don't think word verification is an option on blogger. If you know it is, let me know...
Word verification is certainly an option on Blogger. Here.
If the link doesn't work, just search from the Blogger front page on "word verification". Or the option is in Settings Comments.
ah, thanks potentilla!
