Spamming spammers and the spam that they spam me with

Posted on by Eric Brooks

You know. Maybe if I didn’t spend hours cleaning up all the comment spam on this site, I’d actually have time to post something here for my tens of ones of fans here.

When you’ve had a blog since 1998 (oh yeah baby, a YEAR before Blogger came out, I’m ahead of my time!) you have a BONANZA of places to leave comments if you’re a spammer.

Oh, and by the way. I hate comments. I think they’re the WORST thing to happen to blogs. Instead of someone commenting on something I said here on THEIR blog (thereby their readers come here…) now, they come here comment and that’s that. Where’s the community now???

I’m noticing a trend. They seem to home in on select posts as obviously the spambots know it’s a safe place to leave their crap.

So now I lock each post as they come in. (HA HA! *Gives the spammers the finger in defiance*)
The spam is *already* dying down.

If there is anyone who knows how to beat ANYONE at their own game…
… it’s me. 😀

Yo, e… make a new post you bastard!

Wow. I didn’t post a damn thing in October, now did I?
Well, you know… I didn’t have anything worthwhile to say. Got comment spammers kicking my ass here and on the guestbook, and I’ve been spending most of my time behind the scenes cleaning their garbage up.

Chocolate season is upon us, and I’m now busy getting CB Gifts back up and running.

I think you already know most of my time is spent on Problem Adults. Lots of good people, lots of fun. It’s much like the lunacy here, only multiplied to the UMPTEENTH power by all the other personalities there.

Why you’re HERE reading THIS when you can be over THERE making a name for YOURSELF… I have no clue.
