spammy people

Guys, you know how I feel about the captcha verification box. I do not like it. However, recently I have been bombarded by a spammer, the ID is aryh884.
My message to this person is: STOP leaving spam in my blog! No live links, no weird messages, no unrelated ugly words will be approved, just stop please.

I am sorry to bring this up but it is really annoying, and too many of them!
I turned on the captcha, hopefully it will not be too much of a pain to leave a comment.
If you know of another way to avoid this, please let me know!
Thank you guys!

  2. Sorry to hear this! I had a lot of spammer comments a few years ago, but I didn't want to use the captcha verification. So in the end I let only registered users comment and then it stopped. The problem with this is that it's supposed to be more difficult for those with Wordpress-profiles to comment. Haven't found a way around that one yet ....

  3. I set my moderation not to allow anonymous comments. That seems to block most. Any one wanting to leave nastiness is usually put off by having to identify themselves :D XXX

    1. yeah, I have mine to registered people, and this person has a google ID, so it goes through. And since I am not in G+ I cannot block, not that it would work in a blog.... annoying, to say the least. They already send a spammy comment to this post as well. :oP

  4. I wonder if it's someone who had their account hacked? I had someone email everyone in my address book once, from MY email, and say they were stuck in some country and needed money wired to them. It was awful! Everyone was understanding, but still, why do people do that?!
    Either way, I hope they stop soon!

    1. Oh wow.... that is even worse! No, in this case it is a spammer. Has a google ID, comes and posts in a different language, which when I translated was horrible random words and a link -which I didn't dare to click-. The spammer comes regularly for the last few weeks, but hopefully will get tired soon, or manage to get kicked of their G+ membership. I am not there so I cannot report or block. :o/
