Now, to fix the gremlins with my wireless…

If you get spammed again, the best way is to add "modlook" to the tags on the right. And add a second tag "ofdustandkings invisible."

The modlook tags are checked regularly (at least once or twice per day) and it's helpful for me to see if it's something I can do as a volunteer, like fish you out of spam right there. Faster and less frustrating than searching for usernames etc…

Thank you! Will this keep blog comments from going into spam now too? Conversations on other blogs are pretty important in building connections in the blogosphere...

I think I clicked away from the page too fast—my wireless is going a bit crazy for some unknown reason. Post again if that is not working…

Also, when I tried to reply to this thread under that login, my response went immediately into spam again.

Does that also mean that my comments on wordpress blogs are going i to spam? Can we fix that?

Did you know that you can find previous comments you made to these forums by clicking on your username on the top right of your screen where it says "welcome…"

So by clicking on my own username I got a list of posts I've made here. Then I pasted "ofdustandkings" over may own name. Here is the profile for ofdustandkings:
http://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/ofdustandkings

Of course that won't show spammed comments. But as I said, you should be good to go now.

Sorry for the frustrating events, but it now looks like life will be happy ever after…

Did you come across those?

Is that you?

(btw, that was a typo on my part, mis-spelling your thomashanna name. When I dug into the spam I used copy-paste to search

As for why? I don't know. I've been spammed here, as has timethief, and so have many of the other regular volunteers. An akismet sneeze? I cannot explain.

Please provide a link starting with http:// or the username you used or when you made the spammed posts to these forums.

tomashanna has made only two posts to these forums as far as I can see. Sometimes when there is a lot of spam, like now, usernames get a bit confusing, but the spammed posts are all about viewing various sports games for free. Clearly not you, right?

If you can fish this account out of spam, it will give you the answers to the account I ACTUALLY need help with.

I've seen blogs suspended over this.

Unlike Tumblr, this is not primarily a reblogging platform.

WordPress doesn't do anything that will directly support sploggers.

The other thing that you should realize is that by having two sites with duplicate content on the web, the two sites are competing with one another for the same content with the search engines and that means that both of them are going to have way lower search engine ranking than if there was only one.

Just something to think about.

(Yes, I realize that's kind of weird. I want to have two doorways to the same content for two very different types of readers.)

I have been manually posting to both, but I'd like to make one the primary blog and have the other one get its posts by automatically grabbing them from the primary blog. Possible?
