    Like any security proceedures, the first lines of defense seem to be quick and easy precautions, are their any quick and easy precautions to prevent your blog being spammed?

    I have no problem with spam in my blogs, but recently some adolescent from Usenet tried to have my domain blog shut down. I've been running a free domain contest which a lot of people enjoy and appreciate, and yet this "venomx" person tries to ruin it for everybody.


    ZuraX: Do you have any experience with "venomx"?

    You spammed so you was reported. The Usenet group you spammed says in its FAQ that ads are NOT to be posted yet you did anyways.

    Apologies if this has already been mentioned but with wordpress.org blog you can actually moderate the comments. Okay, so it takes a little longer for the comments to appear on your blog, but it means your only getting comments which are related to the blog entry.. and not spam.
