  Automatic spam has been flooding my blog for two weeks. I see that some robot from Spain sends comments

  ‘Muchas gracias. ?Como puedo iniciar sesion?’

  Within 2 weeks, I removed 30,000 from the spam tab. I can’t do it.
  How to get rid of this robot?

  Hi there,

  I removed 30,000 from the spam tab

  If it’s going to the spam tab, it means our spam filters are blocking it like they’re supposed to.

  Stuff that appear in the spam tab are stuff that have already been blocked as spam. It’s not stuff that you need to review yourself, and anything in the spam folder is automatically deleted after 30 days, so there’s no need for you to remove it yourself.

  But where does this robot come from? Where does this bot attack from?

  Nothing more did you delete?

  Hi there,

  This is not an attack on your site. There are lots of bots our there posting spam comments on millions of sites. That’s why we developed this anti-spam filter, so you don’t have to manually check your comments.

  I understand.
  I had no such situation before – it just happened …

  Is there a chance that it will pass over time?

  Yes, keep marking those comments as spam and the filter will learn to exclude them.

  I’m not going to.
  I admit that I expect that one day it will go, but with quantity; /
