I had to turn off my comments section because of receiving so much spam

Since this is a worldwide blogging site people read this site from almost anywhere on earth people speak or read or write English (or they can translate it through Google Translate into about 60 or 80 languages through a button I have programmed into the site as well. But, the problem I started having was women advertising sexual favors in the comments section especially from places like China and Malaysia and the Philippines  and places like that. At first I would post these comments because they weren't in English so I couldn't read them. But later, I got Google Translate and started translating them from Chinese or other Asian languages to English and didn't want  prostitution associated with this site in any way so I eventually just turned off my comments section because of this.

I think it's unfortunate that this was the only way I could think of to make my site still work for me without having to delete hundreds of spam illicit comments often 2 to 10 paragraphs long advertising things that are illegal in the U.S. except maybe in parts of Nevada.

So, if you were wondering why I turned the comments off this is it. I didn't have the time to read, censor and delete all the spam comments I got and still have it useful for me to blog here at all.

So, I had to make an executive decision in order to keep the site up and running in an effective way for myself and my readers around the world.

Happy New Year everyone! Happy 2020!
