Attack of the Killer Spambots

By Brian C. Ledbetter · Friday, April 25. 2008 10:27
I am under a continual barrage of comment spam at the moment, so if you post a comment and you don't see it after a while, be sure to shoot me a note. Usually, when the blog software considers your comment to be spam, it "moderates" it, allowing me to manually approve or deny it when I get a chance. Because of this flood (and the subsequent deluge of e-mails on my 'Berry), I've had to change things to "delete" the comment instead, for now.

I do wonder if this little up-tick in spam might be related to somebody not liking us, though...

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*Hey Brian,
How about a separate entry denoting some of the spam that you get. I would be very interested in seeing what sort of things are deemed worthy of time, energy and money in order to spam you.


no, i am not saying you are not worth it. you are worth every penny of the spam you get....
