I've blacklisted "blogspot.com" because most of the recent spam making it through the filter are for splogs (spam blogs) on blogspot.com. Don't put the phrase "blogspot.com" in your e-mail address or website or message when commenting or your comment will be blocked.
Right. That's why I'm apologizing for it rather than just blocking and forgetting. I figure we give it a month, open it back up, and see if the spammers are still using that technique or if they've moved on.
Of course, if blogspot figures out how to clean up the system to eliminate the splogs that woudl make it a lot easier to unblock.
Cindy, you could insert a space in the url so that our filter doesn't pick it up. It does mean that anyone who wants to follow your link would have to remove it manually, but at least you could get a little publicity.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but it really is becoming a problem for us!
:(
I think blogger are trying to do spmething about this.
I was just flagged on two of my blogs which were suspected of being spam blogs.
Obviously they weren't but I had to type in a complicated url by hand and then request a review before being accepted as a non-spam blog.
so maybe soon this problem will be a thing of the past.

Sam, I think the "Report as Objectionable" button is gold. I may do my part this weekend and flag a couple dozen or so.
I blacklist everyone I can see or smell.
The only person I allow is Don Ho, he can post.
Meg > thanks for the idea, but really I don't mind about the publicity thing, my blog being in french not many of your readers would be interested in it.
Barrett > it's ok, I don't mind really. I enjoy reading your blog and whether I can leave comments using my URL or not, I'll still read it.
Iím not that much of a internet reader to be honest but your sites really nice, keep it up! I'll go ahead and bookmark your website to come back later on. Cheers
internet fax has improved upon older types of fax machines in a lot of different ways.... companies and individuals are slowly making the switch to the newest innovation in business communications and looking at their fax machines as outdated. this is a great option if you need to borrow a small amount of money for a short period and do not have a credit card to use. you will even land on a few sites that allow you to send a fax for free, no cost, no fee, no obligation, no trial offer, nothing just plain old free. fax machines face hefty competition from the other technological alternatives like internet. the free fax cover letter strategy. why the free fax cover letter works so well there are some times when you will need to. how to do your job cover letter right; a quick lesson in how to write a resume cover.
I understant why your doing so, but that's not that nice for people like me. I can still comment on your blog though, just won't write my URL.
