If you are checking your followers on your blog, make sure to check twitter also. <br /><br />I get around 15 spam comments per day, and it is a good thing that I have comment moderation. Unbelievable that some people have all this time to do these bad things.<br /><br />JenRURAL https://www.blogger.com/profile/11871803235521431504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-453240984293111218.post-85488153463269460232010-02-11T02:15:53.043+00:002010-02-11T02:15:53.043+00:00Lottie, you have said it well.

If they follow and do nothing else ----is this an issue?

I also know of one blogger who has closed up her nice blog because of a 'bad' person writing to her. I do have word verification and the blog approval, and do delete things that are no good at all. I did away with the word verification the other day, because I've read some people don't like that. Well, as soon as I did that I started getting spam mail of adult content, so reinstated the word verification option. It's too bad that evil always wants to kill whatever is good and lovely. ~ Thanks for posting this.<br /><br />FlowerLadyFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-453240984293111218.post-63843244696632291352010-02-10T04:49:31.319+00:002010-02-10T04:49:31.319+00:00Wonderful dreamy pictures.

A moments disgust and angst passes quickly when we can delete, block or sadly even go exclusive. There are many wounded, sad and angry people in the world and as bloggers we will get our share of intruders, but as gardeners we are routinely pulling "weeds" and other unwanted species from our gardens. We are vigilant. I have alerted one or two to spam and questionable followers. Your post is a great way to alert our community!

Your stressing 'Comment Moderation' is something of which we should all take notice.
