Apropos o' Nuthin'...

I just put this comment up on a post that, for some inexplicable reason, has attracted about 15 spam comments over the course of the last three days:
Haven't you fucking spammers figured this shit out yet? I MODERATE COMMENTS SO YOU'RE NEVER GONNA GET THROUGH!  SO STOP, ALREADY!
There's a special place in Hell for these bastards.  A place where they will have to wade through an infinite amount of spam comments for all freakin' eternity.  The hits will just keep on comin'...

  1. Go get 'em, Buck!

    (BTW -- I don't think they read English, so it probably won't do any good to yell at them.)

  2. I was getting some odd spam thing for a while, but it seems to have stopped when Blogger upped their spam-catcher. Of course, I'm not as popular as you.

  4. I like your blog very much. Would you consider a link exchange?

  5. I personally believe spammers will spend eternity having to open CDs and blister packs.

  6. Moogie: You're prolly right about the shouting. But it makes me feel better.

    Andy: Heh.

    Lou: We ALL get spam. There are a billion Chinese and I think half of 'em are spammers.

    Jim: With their bare hands.

  7. Yeah, I heard on Kim Komando a while back that there are huge banks of Chinese employees that do nothing but paste comments, and fill out word verifications.

    I've gotta give Blogger kudos, though. The new filter has caught every dang one since I turned WV off.

    I know that you are moderating comments for a different reason, but DANG, those guys are good.

  8. Google IS good about catching most spam, but some slips through. And, apropos of this post... I got five... FIVE... new spam comments on that very same old post yesterday, AFTER I put this up.

  9. Buck, I know you're getting them in an e-mail, but they wouldn't be posting to the blog if you weren't moderating comments...at least none of them have at my cheesy little joint.

    BTW, what the heck kinda' post is attracting so much chink interest?

  10. I know you're getting them in an e-mail, but they wouldn't be posting to the blog if you weren't moderating comments...

    Oh yes they would. There's an awaiting moderation tab and a spam tab in comments... "real" comments go into "awaiting moderation," spam goes to the spam trap. So I assume if I WASN'T moderating the uncaught spam would post.

    As for the attraction? Beats me!

  11. Hmmmm....well, that's good info to know. I've never used moderation, so I don't know how it works.

    Interesting.

Just be polite... that's all I ask.
