Squidoo: How Could Spammers Post Comments Without Approval?

Hi,

Why does Squidoo allow spammers to post comments on my lens without my approval? Can someone shed some light? This has happened way to often. And now I've noticed 11 of my live lenses have gone "work in progress" when, really, they're not.

You're more likely to get a helpful response by asking that on the Squidoo forum:

You should be able to set it up to require your approval first.

1) Login to your squidoo account.

2) Click on "Edit This Lens" at the upper right portion of your lens.

3) Go to your "Comment" module and click "Edit."

4) Under "Options," there is a question:
"When should their blurbs be approved?"
Choose "ask me first" then click on "Save."

Thanks

I don't have a lot of lenses, but I've had some go briefly into "work in progress" and then return to normal in a day or so. I don't know why either.

I believe it can have to do with level of content. Is there any information you can add to the ones that have been switched? It will take a bit of time to see if that works, but if that's the issue, adding a bit more of information makes for a better lens.

Another possibility is a borderline acceptable topic. Squidoo is pretty touchy on some subjects.

You gotta tell Squidoo about this so that they will be aware.
