I've gotten a few comments that seem to obviously come from people who want to sell something. I've even had emails from people asking me if they could link to my blog when their blogs were nothing but selling sites...I say no, if I answer at all. I've become leery of visiting strange blogs when someone has only visited me once, unless they leave a comment that shows that they actually read my blog and weren't just looking for visitors. I've never blocked anyone...never needed to. If I had someone like you discribed come by once, I might just ignore it. If they came back, I might look into blocking them. I have seldom deleted a comment even if I thought is was just someone trying to get me to come to their blog or sell something....I just don't respond. I try to answer comments that ask questions...in an email if I have their address. I try to visit any blogger who visits me at least once.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02890796903959709429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-19064537112723412262010-07-09T20:12:59.542-04:002010-07-09T20:12:59.542-04:00I remember some of the delicious produce we got at...I remember some of the delicious produce we got at roadside stands when we lived in Indiana. It was almost as good as that which comes out of your own garden.

If an advertiser uses my blog to comment I just delete them. After a few times of being deleted they don't seem to come back.

I like getting the tomatoes and lopes, peaches have not arrived here yet. Funny is when the little children come to help with the produce and they only speak PA Dutch and can't see over the counter...they are adorable! Oh yes the commenters that are promoting items or inappropriate remarks...I don't really have much problem with that *yet*, but have had to hit the delete a few times... fortunately just a few!

Those peaches traveled a long way.<br /><br />1st question - followers - to me that means someone who literally follows my blog. I started blocking many of them in the beginning when it seemed to be the rage because of selling, ads, etc -not true blogging friends. I don't even check that anymore.<br />I do answer every comment I get and if when I'm returning that comment it is for a blog that is selling something, way too inappropriate, etc. I don't comment and delete theirs from mine.Carlettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11178161514195582965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-18081138881421580972010-07-08T18:11:51.076-04:002010-07-08T18:11:51.076-04:00Hi Rose, if you want to try carving with your chai...Hi Rose, if you want to try carving with your chain saw I say go for it---NOW!!! I have a small chain saw but never though about carving. I bet you could go online and find articles about the 'how to' part.<br /><br />I like to comment to whomever leaves me a comment EXCEPT--spammers or if it looks iffy I may peek at the blogger but may not comment and then just delete. And if I see that person or spammer again I will just delete without opening it up and soon I won't hear from that one again.<br /><br />MBSmall City Sceneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12307313549480618415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-62167108587508099102010-07-08T16:44:49.657-04:002010-07-08T16:44:49.657-04:00I enjoy shopping at roadside stands.

There used to be a lot more around here than there are now but I'm afraid the city is trying to swallow us up. <br /><br />There are a few farmers close by who sell their produce at the side of the road and I like to support their efforts.<br /><br />To answer your question, I delete comments from people who just trying to sell stuff.EG CameraGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12803759124643467711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-48362321931018256172010-07-08T16:12:56.701-04:002010-07-08T16:12:56.701-04:00Hi Rose, I love to buy produce from one of those...Hi Rose, I love to buy produce from one of those 'drive-bys'.... They usually have fresh things --and the price is right. <br /><br />Have you all met up with Neal --when you go to Indy... I know that he's not far from there. <br /><br />The only spam I have been getting is that Chinese stuff... I just delete it as soon as I get it. I do not respond to anyone who is selling something.. Thank Goodness--I have gotten so little of that crap. BUT--I've seen it on other blogs... My advice: just DELETE.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-72626929879884574792010-07-08T14:48:00.541-04:002010-07-08T14:48:00.541-04:00Well, it's a very nice shot for a drive-by!

We stopped at a roadside stand the other day...turns out they bought their fruit & veggies from elsewhere (we thought they had grown their own)...nevertheless it was quite good - much better than we can get at the supermarket.<br /><br />Re your question: I automatically delete any comment from someone who is pitching a website or selling a product.Lowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15305748075301453010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-9216217947945990022010-07-08T10:55:06.204-04:002010-07-08T10:55:06.204-04:00You raise an interesting question and one all blog...You raise an interesting question and one all bloggers have to deal with at some point. When I go to respond to a comment the next day, if the site is commercial I will delete their comment and not comment on their site. Then, I remember those and make a point of deleting them as quickly after they have posted a comment as I can on the same day. They usually don't return, so I don't block URLs. There are some in a gray area that are hard to decide: a business, but basically blogging to enjoy picture...then I don't delete. This sounds confusing...sorry to go on so long. :-)donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11683101466651668784noreply@blogger.com
