Spam Plagued

January 20th, 2007 -- Posted in blog design | 2 Comments »

So what’s keeping me from updating this blog?

Work? Yes that’s one of the reason, but the bigger headache recently is the increasing number of spam comments posted to this site. Each time I turn on the blog admin page, there’s always additional 100 over comments for me to moderate… each either selling sex or drugs (in the most legitimate way they can think of, ironically) and some even added a comment (automated, it seems) about how much info they get from this site. What a headache! The electro-perfectionist me just haaaate to leave useless bytes lying around so it’s my impulsion to want to clean these spam bugs off before I post anything.

You know how it is… Take a week of vacation away from any computer and only return to find your blog plagued by 1326 comments. I tried to scroll through just in case there is any genuine comment somewhere, but after browsing through 249 spam comments, I just couldn’t continue. I just selected “Report All Spam” button at the bottom and cleared all.

So, for those who added any comment but did not get posted, I apologize.
