Help Me Fight 'Comment Spam'
I just spent 45 minutes deleting spam comments from various posts on the blog and am really PISSED! So far I'd kept the comments free for all, hoping that it would encourage all you guys to share your views with the minimum of fuss and bother.
Unfortunately, spam comments are outnumbering genuine ones by at least 5 to 1 and so I'm having to disallow anonymous comments. I hope all you guys out there will understand and take the time to create a blogger ID so you can continue to contribute to this blog. On my part, I hope this step reduces the spam to a more manageable level so I can devote more attention to writing.
Thanks for your support and do come back soon!

There's an option in Blogger Settings to require all comments to complete a verfication by typing in some letters... I had the same problem for a while at www.ShaiDardashti.com and now things are under control.

Hi Amit
You can midify the setings of your blog and apply the wrod verification tool.
This will help stop the spam and at the same time allow visitors to comment a "anonymous".
I also faced the same issue earlier and got a great help from the word verification tool. Since now I see that you have already applied word verification, blocking anonymous may not be required.
Thanks, Shai and Rajesh. I've changed the setting now and hope things will now be under control.
Hi Amit-
My boy friend came across your blog the other day- by nay chance did you go to the Naval School in New Delhi in 8th or 9th grade? If so, then you and I used to be great friends back then.
Yes, I was in Naval Public School in 7th grade. Whoever this is, please mail me your contact to journeytowealth@gmail.com. Would be great to get back in touch.
