Blogger has Introduced Automatic Spam Comment Detection in Blogspot blogs to make it easier for you to manage your comments. This is really a fantastic news for all blogspot users, because spam comments are headache for all blog authors. Blogger Auto spam detection feature will detect spam comments and restrict them from publishing.

Blogger has created a new Comments tab for us to access them. where we can manage published comments, comments that have been flagged as spam and comments awaiting moderation if you have turned on Comment Moderation.







Users with Comment Moderation turned on will continue to see comments that need moderation and have not been flagged as spam in Comments | Awaiting Moderation. Users without Comment Moderation will not see any comments in Comments | Awaiting Moderation.

Spam Inbox

Blogger now filters comments that are likely spam comments to a Spam Inbox, much like the spam folder in your email. When someone leaves a comment on your blog, it will be reviewed against our spam detector, and comments that are identified as possible spam will be sent to your blog’s Spam Inbox, found at Comments | Spam.





You can help improve blogger ability to automatically detect spam comments by checking your Spam Inbox and deleting spam comments and marking real comments that may have been flagged as spam as Not Spam.

Note: It might be available or not available in your blogger account, because blogger has given rights to limited users who can view this feature. You can try http://draft.blogger.com/
