I recently created a website and one of my first users was a guy that had his username as "Make thousands buy putting links on google" and it was a clickable URL. Well he posted a comment on one of my blog posts on my website and I wasn't sure whether this was going to help or hinder or neither. So what shall I do with this type of user?
 



This is what I originally thought but he did take the time and trouble to write a short comment and upload an avatar. I dont want to delete one of my first users but I also don't want to bring any type of negativity or spam to my site
 
i just deleted a message from I believe the same guy with the same subject line. It is pure spam. It keeps coming back lol The body of the message is "Thanks for posting, I'll definitely be subscribing to your blog." lame

Lol, that answers my question then because he posted the EXACT same thing on mine. I marked it as spam and deleted it. Thanks guys!
 
Install this and it will mark spam as spam. Also set your blog to require approval before comments are posted.

I will have to look in to that plugin and read more about it. I do have it set to approve everything that comes through but I am extremely new and was unsure whether to allow it or not so I decided to do it. Hours after I marked it as spam now that I know. Thank you all again for the help.

Yeah, I think I have three or four of those with that exact message in my spam folder right now...
