    I keep getting spam comments from all kinds of places wanting to discuss viagara and weight loss and all sorts of things I am not interested in. Some of these seem to be coming from places with foriegn names.

    I am happy these are getting into spam but there are getting to be more and more of them as time goes by.

    Is there a way to make sure none of these ever appear on the dashboard at all?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Don’t look in your Spam filter. The only reason you even can see inside it at all is so that you can find things which have been falsely flagged as Spam and fish them out.

    Honestly, there is no reason to go to your spam filter otherwise, and endless stress if you do go.

    Our reality is that the vast and overwhelming majority of all the “information” that circulates on the internet is spam. Over 80% of the comments submitted to .wordpress.com blogs every day is spam. Scroll down to read “5 things every blogger should know about spam“. It takes me only a few minutes a day to scan what’s in the spam filter.
