Any other Blogger bloggers, that is:
For the last couple months, I've been repeatedly hit by Asian spam commenters every week or so. They hit 10-15 posts at once, leaving a big long link in Asian characters with the odd English word thrown in the mix (志色教館,AV女優,SEX,咆哮小老鼠,85cc免費影片, as copied & pasted from a recent comment). It's pretty obviously porn.
I can go in and delete them, of course, and that's what I've been doing. 10-15 permanent deletes, one at a time, every week or so. But it's annoying. I'm losing patience.
I changed my posting options so that my blog won't be crawled by search engines; I'm not sure how else random porn spammers would find me. That hasn't seemed to help, though. I'm beginning to wonder if I should set my blog to private, at least for a little while until they stop harassing me. But maybe that's equally annoying?
UGH. Anybody else have this problem? Or is it just lucky me? What should I do?

That's weird, because you have word verification and all...hmmm...can you set it to no anonymous comments? I don't know. Private is annoying, but sometimes useful in certain situations. :)
On a semi-related note, WV: "imockska"
even though I totally don't mock ska because Danny Elfman would be me up.
errr...and beat me up, too. :)
Nope, haven't had that problem. BUT, for reasons unrelated to Asian porn, the blog about Holland is now set to private. So, they wouldn't be able to get to that one. My fitness/health blog hasn't been hit with the Asian porn flu and it's as public as public gets.
Maybe you're just lucky? I agree though that it's weird since you have WV...hmmm...
You can just set your comments to require approval before publishing... that cuts down on hassle.
I have no random Asian porn posts. I occasionally get Russian comments but those are legit... Sometimes when I'm feeling too lazy to think in Russian (actually usually it's just too lazy to change settings to type in Russian) I just pop comments I want to make or the ones I receive into a translator -- if it doesn't recognize a word, it leaves it in English in the midst of the Russian stream which kind of sounds like what you're describing .... WEIRD.
Ah! I hadn't thought of moderation! I'll start with that and see how it goes. :-P
I've had some comments on just one of my blogs (Interstate 50) in what I assume could be Chinese characters (unless they're Japanese), although some of the comments are in very broken English and appear to relate to the post at hand, others entirely in the foreign language (without interspersed Roman characters). It had not occurred to me that they might be spam. There have not been many, however.
