I get an email for all comments so can spot them the same day and go into "delete forever" which gets rid of that one but they sometimes come back (by robot I think!). I hate captcha it is tedious and hard to see. Likewise limiting time - 2 weeks is better than 4 days as it takes me some time to catch up with so many good blogs. If you moderate you can be on top of all your fans' comments Jim, good for the mental well being.Chris Gregghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03585623032053255569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-14415226329919342432021-03-08T14:29:18.199-06:002021-03-08T14:29:18.199-06:00Spam is EVIL!

Partly because I don't have huge number of followers and partly because I quite like to know when comments are posted as I often want to respond.
