Comment Spam
By Angsuman Chakraborty, Gaea News NetworkFriday, February 6, 2004
After some deliberation, and seeing others, I decided to leave the commenting section on my blog un-moderated. Today I was mildly surprised to find almost all my posts had a comment to it. Surprise quickly turned to disgust to see that I have been spammed by a moron spammer. They badly wanted to link from my site and so there it goes.
I would not allow my blog to be polluted by comment spam.
So I went back to comment moderation. I don’t have time to go after spammers. But I can moderate the comments once a day and delete the spammers comments, if they are stupid enough to post it.
If you have faced the same problem you can also look at the comment spam manifesto for other ideas.

I think everyone should make a spam list on their blog with the name of the site without making it an actual link as a way to shame them - kind of like grocery stores putting up pictures of punk thieves. And we can submit spam comments to a website that tracks everything and rates websites on how much spam has been found linking to it so we can not support the sites and blogs that employ these tactics to market themselves. For example, if i want to buy something from examplestorename.com first i could go to (another example)spamrating.com and then see if i want to support their business of not, depending on their spam rating…. just a thought |
