Somebody has dumped links into my comments to get-rich-quick schemes. Obviously I deleted the "comment." Is this a concern or are we simply just to hit the delete button?

I always hit the delete button when a spammer decides that it's ok to dump links on my pages. If nothing else I feel great satisfaction knowing that they completely wasted their time and effort!

Not really a reason for concern, Rupert. Unfortunately, it's part of the business.

We have a security system in place that automatically deletes mass spammers. For individual cases like yours, simply delete that stuff, or set your comments to "moderate" (in your account settings).

Catana - could you please repost (copy) your problem into a new thread? Under "Help me, please!"

Could you please elaborate on this, Sam? The link didn't work for me and I don't really know what you mean with your statement.

I think she meant that the link had been replicated therefore still providing potential clickthroughs for the spammer?

Oh, I got it. Rupert posted the spam link, but Anne erased it before I saw it. That's why I couldn't make any sense of Sam's statement. All clear now.

Correct, I removed the bad link in my quote and Ann removed it in the original post ;-) SY
