Blog Comment Spammers Are Beginning to Tick Me Off

Filed under: General — Charlie Summers @ 11:09 am

There’s a new wrinkle (or at least a new one to me); some gambling outfit, who apparently cannot get customers legitimately, is spamming this blog not by reviewing the entries database, but simply by posting to post #1, post #2, etc., etc.

I have comment moderation turned on to prevent exactly this, and have added programming to prevent this moron from bothering me once I get an URL to add.

I think it’s kinda funny that all of the add-ons for Wordpress, which this blog runs under, are designed to trip the blog into moderation mode. Me, I want the scum’s postings killed completely if it contains the URL to their scammer websites, so I had to add the checks myself. The only bad thing about this is that it’s gonna get uglier and uglier the more scum think spamming blog comments with hijacked computers is a good thing…

Ah, well, cheer up…at least you can read the postings here without having to worry about reading spammer spew. Now if I didn’t have to deal with it, everything would be perfect.
