We get spam

I’ve been thinking about making a post about the spam comments I receive here on B&P.  I’d say I get a couple hundred a day.  The WordPress plugin I use catches probably 98% of it and puts it into a spam folder.  I go through it (quick scan it anyway) a few times a day just to make sure a real comment doesn’t get tossed in there by mistake.  That does happen, but maybe one a day, if that.  I think I catch most of them.  But on occasion a real comment might fall through the cracks and be lost forever.

The most annoying spam comments to me are the ones that go on and on… several screens for one comment.  Those are always just long lists of links, some not even linked up (just a list of words, a few of which are linked).

I know there’s not much more I can do to stop them, so I’m thankful for the spam filtering I have.  Below are some examples of some of the spam I’ve gotten the last two days.  I didn’t even list any for porn ads which I’m sure everyone gets.

  1. Em, Id prefer not to do that to my readers (I know how much I don’t like doing that when I have to). I think I’d get a lot fewer comments. The spam filtering works pretty good. I don’t have to go thru them, but I choose to… when I have the time anyway. Every now and then I just delete the folder without looking at them.

  2. “Considerably, the article is actually the sweetest on this notable topic. I fit in with your conclusions and will thirstily look forward to your future updates.”

    Geez I love that.
