Spammy Spam And The Spammers That Spam
So I’m already nearing 2,000 trapped spam comments (I’m at 1,900 something), courtesy of Akismet (the greatest plug in ever). Here’s a nice graph of the ongoing spam wars courtesy of Akismet itself (which I found via Subtraction and Rexblog).
I have to say, out of all these freaking spam comments, I think less than ten have gotten through. It’s a very amusing game, this spam one, as each morning I purge the queue of links to strange sites, mostly pimping drugs and adult stuff. Some have a strange wit about them, as in: “Kewl site! I just looking for this information!” or “Great blog! Check out this link!” - it’s all very flattering but when I see the link is for a pay day loan - delete.
I suppose the next step might be to figure out these IP addresses and start banning the holy ham-spam out of them. But somehow, seeing the number of spams deleted climb into the thousands is sickly satisfying.
