I have been slow in posting but I regularly moderate comments and delete the spams but lately it has become more and more difficult to distinguish them from legitimate comments.
Following is a sample of what these scum bags have been writing and I just deleted almost 200+ comments that were left on different posts just today! Reviewing such huge numbers of spam comments is a nightmare and it is possible to delete genuine comments accidentally but I hope I haven’t done that.
Here are some of them:
“great pictures, Especially for me at this winter time ,I am so in love with hot countries,Very peaceful!”
“Wow! this is a really nice blog. I loved reading it.
Thanks!”“Nice info you have here..
I’ll use this a lot..thanks
and nice site too :D
“Good Afternoon…! ”
“Great Forum & Community!
I’ve been here as a freeloader for a while and finally got around to registration.
I sorta live online – spend most of my days addicted to social sites like MySpace.com and gambling sites like Betot.com.
Besides gambling (this week I made a sweet $2,000) off of betot, I love sports and hiking.
So that’s my self introduction. Happy New Year to All and hope to get to know you all better…
Peace…”“The concept of holistic health is not new,but it was the first time I am listening to. Medicine is more an approach to how individuals should be treated, as opposed to a treatment method.”
“Howdy Partner, I fell lucky that I located this post while browsing for spyware doctor 3. I am with you on the topic of e going gets tough, tough feels like quitting |. Ironically, I was just putting a lot of thought into this last Thursday.”
“I think your blog need a new wordpress template. Downalod it from http:// genericwpthemes. com . The site has nice and unique wordpress templates.”
“I think you are thinking like sukrat, but I think you should cover the other side of the topic in the post too…”
“What if you are on someone else’s computer say, durning a hurricane evacuation. They dont tell you that have that type of spyware parents use to monitor the pre-teen kids and weeks after you leave, they go into your acocunt and go over all your entries? Is that wrong (ehtically it IS..I mean legally)? Just asking because my paranoid aunt (erm..uncle’s wife) made my uncle go onto his computer and hell pulled up and printed every journal entry (including somebad ones about her…note – she’s a racist and I complained about it) on a site that you have to be a member of to read the entries, see member pages, etc.. (yes, I changed the passwords on ALL my frequently visited sites) and yes, after going to ther sites on their compy durning the Hurricane Ike evac, I clicked “Tools – Delete Browser History – Delete All” and they still got in…and the passwords were hard and in l33t.)”
HUH? That last comment really got me thinking.. Is this person really a spammer or they were trying to make a point but I didn’t get it? This was on the post When the going gets tough, tough feels like quitting

I’m a blogger myself, and i agree with you that its getting more difficult to spot the spammers. It is seriously one of my biggest pet peeves. I spend my time to try and make a post that will be helpful and informative to my readers, and then i have these moochers coming and dropping off crap on my site. Its really irritating. If you’re going to leave a comment, make sure that its something useful or has at something half intelligent to say.
One thing i’ve noticed many bloggers doing, is writing a post specifically about their “no toleration” for blog spamming. it might help your site too.
