We have had several blogs that have been having spam comments on them. If you are going to be allowing comments on your blog, you must implement all spam blocking plugins.

You can read about how to implement plug-ins (takes a couple of minutes) by going to the User Guide and FAQ's. Links are on the ChristianBlogSites Summary page:

Since we are close to the upgrade and some of this will change I will be gracious to those who have not followed the blog guidelines to implement these plug-ins. However, after the upgrade we will be strictly enforcing no spam comments on blogs. The plug-ins prevent spam, so the only reason a blog would have spam is because individuals choose to not follow the guidelines and implement the plugins to prevent spam. After the upgrade, it will be almost impossible for spammers to even try to post spam.

The integrity of ChristianBlogSites.com is on the line when there is spam on the site. So after the upgrade, users will be given one warning to remove spam. If the spam is not removed within 24 hours, the entire blog site will be deleted.
