Comment Spam

UGC is often interpreted as Spam

What Google say:

" Comments are a great way for website owners to build community and readership. Unfortunately, they're often abused by spammers and nogoodniks, many of whom use scripts or other software to generate and post spam. If you've ever received a comment that looked like an advertisement or a random link to an unrelated site, then you've encountered comment spam. "

Previous Experience

I have written extensively on "Comment Spam" in the past and have witnessed it when I was running a Wordpress blog in Canada. Since that time I have also encountered the same level of spam being submitted to the Village Hall Wordpress website
