Unfortunately, spam in all forms is a constant threat and problem. In addition to the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) Certificate, I pay for excellent spam detection and Advanced Website Security and Backup services to protect my website and your data if you leave a comment or subscribe to my newsletter.

I wish I could approve of every comment being visible in a post. The best way for your comment to avoid becoming spam is to use only your email address that is not attached to a third-party website. If you left a comment but have yet to hear back from me, that is the reason. I never saw your comment because it automatically went to the spam or trash burial ground.

I must trust the services I pay for to maintain my website and protect visitors’ data, as well as mine.

It is such an uplifting feeling when someone shares a comment about my stories. I am always grateful for the time they took to do so.
