I hoped it wouldn't come to this...

Sadly, I have had to turn on word verification for the comments on this blog. After having to go in twice today to delete the same get-rich-quick spam comment, as well as deleting multiple comments from a Japanese porn site that likes my book reviews, I'd had enough.

We've got one major spammer going to prison, let's hope others end up in the same place. I would love to see an internet free of spam and malware.

I had to do the same...I was hit about 5 times in the last month. I don't know why they have to pick on us litle book bloggers! Nasty people!

I feel especially bad because I was a big supporter of Kill Word Verification, but what can you do? I flew under the radar for a long time, where spam was concerned. My new website is set up for moderation, unless you've already been approved. That way I don't have to approve *every* comment, but it should cut out the spam.
