I've had a couple of comments recently that have been in Chinese and Anonymous ones advertising some website or other so for a short time I'm only allowing comments from people with Google accounts and have also enabled 'word verification' I aplogise to anyone who'd like to comment but doesn't have a Google account but I'm hoping this will deter unwanted commentors.? If anyone can advise what other option there is - eg Registered users (not sure what that means) which would make it possible for genuine comments for those without a Google account, please let me know.

EDTED - My concern is that if it's Spam it may cause problems. But Jane has said it is Spam and can bypass 'word verification'. So I'll wait and see.

Yes I have had one or two comments in chinese too - I suppose thats what worldwide web enables. As I didn't bother to translate, I have no idea whether it was nice or nasty - life is too short to worry but I would do same as you if it became a prob. have a good weekend.
Anne, the same thing happened to my blog. It's spam! It's done by a program and it's able to bypass "word verification" so you are still at risk because many such programs set up a dummy google account. You need to "delete forever" those comments. I decided to "Moderate" my comments and have had no trouble since. Good luck.
What I was worried about was it being spam more than anything else and that it may cause problems.

I've had a problem with this sort of spam too Anne. It's such a pain and I've had to resort to the word verification too...
