So think even if there are 20 spammy comments that are not filtered out, it’ll take too much time to manually read and delete them from your blog. And here is one more thing, once you’ve some spammy comments on your blog posts, there will be even more spammy comments on that specific post. So it is very important to block spammy comments.
