Spam comments descended onto this Sedona post like it was honeyed Velcro. Or, as the saying goes, like flies to s&%#! I duplicated and deleted it, and now I’m reposting it for posterity or until I need to delete it again because of stupid spammers. What do they hope to gain with their odd, broken spam speak? Often, they flatter you, only to suggest that your page isn’t loading correctly, and they can help from their Russian bunker that smells like farts and burnt coffee grounds. The comments are a jumbled, humorous misuse of language they must learn at spam school. Do they really think I get a lot of eyeballs in the comment section of old random posts?
Follow my feet again…
Like there are six degrees of Kevin Bacon, hikers are always six steps from a trail in Sedona, Arizona. Trails transcend energy portals; they loop, pivot, ascend, and cross sand and majestic red rocks. They inspire awe. They’re everywhere. Follow my feet…
Books are another kind of portal. Supernatural reading on The Broken Arrow Trail.
Sunset behind Chimney Rock. Stay tuned for Dino bones next week.
Cleantalk, my first spam filter, couldn’t tell the difference between fake and real comments. Does anyone have a recommendation for a better one?
Happy Independence Day!
Beautiful scenes from Sedona. Love the Jay too. Gorgeous sunset capture!
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great week!
Beautiful photos! I love the colors 🙂
Stunning views. I know some people moderate all comments. I tend to check mine daily and just delete the spam. Any of my posts over a week or so old, the comments have to be approved before they publish. Good luck finding a solution that works for you.
Marvelous photography!
Spam comments are the worst. But, at least Sedona is gorgeous!
Wow! Sedona is gorgeous! I can’t wait to go there someday!
Gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous.

These photos are stunning!! #TravelTuesday
First, I love the images of Sedona, AZ!
Regarding the spamming, originally I set my WordPress settings -Comment author must have a previously approved comment. I always delete those spam comments. I like to reply to every comment on my posts. When reviewing my blog, I realized I missed a few. To remedy this, I then changed the setting to Comment must be manually approved. Plus I have it set to receive emails when a comment is waiting for approval.
Hope this helps!
Take care and best wishes.
The more I look at your photos….the more I want to travel back to that beautiful part of our country! Hugs!
Such a gorgeous area. Very glad you did a re-post. Bummer about the spammers. I get a few, but not too many. For some reason, they seem to mostly go after just my older posts (which don’t get published until I approve). Then I just report them as spam.
This is one place I want to revisit.
Worth a Thousand Words
Absolutely stunning, love to visit Sedona at some point, but for now I am happy to do armchair travel through you.
