My Blog

My blog has been under attack by spammers and pornographers. I didn’t have enough time to check the comments and today I just happen to click on one of those and it took me to some porno site. I am sorry if you too have clicked on any such comment which apparently looks fine but is linked to the indecent site.

What I like about WordPress is that it gives you total control on comment moderation. So dear readers, have patience if your comment is held for moderation or doesn’t appear for a while… it will appear when I check and approve it.

Here I’d like to mention that it was good to see that WordPress changed the style of smilies. Some of them are:

:) :D :lol: ;) :P :o :/ :? :oops: :evil: :cry: 8)

I didn’t like the one with tongue out. Don’t you think the tongue is just too long? :P

Nice changes are always welcomed. Overall I liked them :)

  1. Yes, it looks if becharay has been phaansified. I would rate the rest so so as well. I liked them when MSN had upgraded their smilies to similar as well above, few years back laiken ab tau aur achay honay chaiye…

    & We can differentiate among spam & original comments. So you better just delete them when you come online. Posts should show up the moment they are posted.
    WordPress better introduce the CAPTCHA thing while someone comments as well, against spam.

    • Personally I don’t like CAPTCHA as I feel it is very bothersome but yes, it is helpful against spam. I am careful now about comments etc.

      Yahoo too introduced new smilies last years but they are so big :lol:

  2. please moderate my comments :P

    • Regular readers/bloggers are in safe list yet… some of the comments are often held :)

  3. Assalamoalaikum, Im afraid I had been a victim of the click there. The Quadi Azam post was of alot of interest to me, and.. you can imagine, Thanks ALLAH the kids werent with me then. I got a major shock!!! Tauba tauba

    As for the smileys, I ahve noticed I barely use them except for the :D

  4. I get too many comments… if you still find the malicious comment on some post please let me know so that I delete it.

  5. hehehe… are we not already too spammed?

    • Spamming is such an issue really :P

  6. The grinning smiley :D seems a bit strange too. It’s lower jaw is just too wide! They could have made it a normal grin. Anyway, change is always good.

    Good luck with the spam control.

    • LOL! I noticed that too… :D

  7. They say changes are for good but changes are not always good :)

    • Well said Aadil! :)

  8. i ve been bombarded too…with comments offering detours to pornographic sites !

    • You too? :/

      Damn spammers :evil:

  9. Great idea, but will this work over the long run?
