I know I have been banging on about spam alot recently, that is because its annoying me.
I knew my blog was being hit hard for whatever reason. I am going to believe its because I am so damn popular (I probably ended up on a list somewhere) Last week I checked my spam file and was greeted with over four and a half thousand comments in a little under 2 weeks, now normally I go through them and check to see if anyone has ended up in there, but there is no way, so I apologise if you have ended up in my spam file and I didn’t fish you out.
But its not just the comments, I have also noticed that I have lost about 500 followers, after I assume wordpress have done a sweep of spam blogs. I knew it was coming, as the same photo from about 8 different blogs followed me and that was the ones I just cottened onto.
Hopefully, that will be the end of it now. Well at least for a while.
Its good to be crazy Sometimes 
Hopefully

I have everything crossed, I dislike it when I get people removed even though I know why, especially recently when wordpress has been removing bloggers from followering some blogs

Hopefully, it’s the end of that for a bit too. I used to think my spam folder was bad with around 600 in there—yours takes the cake for sure.
But I feel you. It’s annoying.

Thats roughly what I get around 600, normally less, so 4.5k was a jaw dropping figure

Wow I get spam maybe once every three months or so and it goes for a couple of days where I delete them. Then they disappear.. Weird that you got hit by so many. And in your followers too? Well here’s hoping you got rid of them all and now can enjoy reading your comments without fear it is a bot. Hugs love. 🙂

I am not sure of the exact number of spam I usually get, but I can go through them fairly quickly on a weekly basis, so it can’t be more than 200 a week. I shall continue to monitor it, but 4.5k is stupid
