One of the downsides of maintaining a blog is screening out all of the spam comments and the links to questionable sites they often contain. This week had been a particularly insane week of spam. I have gotten an unreal amount of comments in which spammers try to make their comments seem like normal reader comments. You have got to check out some of these.
- Fastidious respond in return of this question with genuine arguments and telling the whole thing regarding that.
- It’s going to be end of mine day, but before ending I am reading this fantastic paragraph to increase my know-how.
- Great issues altogether, you just gained a logo new reader. What would you recommend about your put up that you just made a few days in the past? Any sure?
- Stay up the great work!
- What’s up Dear, are you actually visiting this web page on a regular basis, if so after that you will definitely obtain nice experience.
- I have read this post and if I could I wish to suggest you few interesting things or suggestions. Maybe you can write next articles referring to this article.
- Good way of describing, and pleasant piece of writing to obtain.
Comments like this are left by spammers with names like Nike Free, Get More Twitter Followers, and Mazda RX7. Allrighty then.
And finally, this articulate comment was posted on my newspaper crafts post:
- Firstly, how would you design a city method? Next, you say that self-sufficient city techniques are prisons since, quote, ‘you usually do not personal residence, you can’t become wealthy, individual rights are given up’ – would you feel that today’s capitalist technique is really a prison in? that individuals must work to be able to survive and that you just have limited choice, dependent upon your education and socio-economic track record, in what role you participate in in society?
Um, okay then.
But seriously, spammers, please GET A LIFE. If you have an awesome site or product that you want to share, then promote it in an upfront and honest way. Since, that is obviously not going to happen, I will keep hitting the spam button.
Have you gotten any interesting spam lately? Which of the ones I posted did you roll your eyes at the most?
I was getting crazy spam for awhile, mine were usually promoting things I can’t even share though! I finally set it so that there was captcha on any posts older than a week and that seemed to fix it. I hate having to use captcha but I hated the spam even more.
It comes and goes in waves. My askimet usually catches it but these ones get by more and more. I had about 100 yesterday alone! I hate captcha more though lol.
Hahah, some of those are so deep! Gotta love creative head scratching SPAM!
lol..thats funny…I hate spammers thought..it sucks.
So funny! I too hate spam…. especially when I get something from someone xxx who wants to go out on a date!??? LOL
Er, I’m pretty sure the comment above me is spam 🙂 Anyway, do you use Askimet plugin? Most of the spam comments will go to where they are supposed to be.
Lol. Yes, actually I do but it has been letting a lot slip through. I just went through and deleted a ton more goofy spam comments.
The truth is they are using a software that sends out nonsensical comments to different blogs. I was bombarded with these types of comments when my blog was new but when I started using Akismet plugin, all of them disappeared.
Wow! Those are crazy bad….I just happened upon this while browsing your recipe section…LOL, I”m headed back there now. But these definitely made me laugh out loud!
