Loads of Spam

Posted on February 27, 2006 by Ryan B

So I was just checking my e-mail and I saw that I had 8 or so new comments. I thought that it was pretty cool since I haven’t posted a myth like, the world’s largest bear, or a hot new web tool like, coComment. I went ahead and opened one up. To my surprise, it was spam. The same thing with all of the others.

After that, I checked the spam filter, and had 10 spam comments in there also. Has anybody else been getting tons of spam today?

    Hmm..I always get spam from this guy called Phermentine or so…. Who goes on to sa about Casinos, etc, etc! If more WP users recieve spam from this guy, (reckon it;s a bot), then we can complain and ask Matt to ban him.

    And heaven freak me, I got 23 spam yesterday! LOL! *Goes to start a thread in WP Forums*

    I’ve been pretty quiet on the spam front until this morning. Must be the weather, all the little spam pixxies are coming out of their caves and waking up.

    Any blog with comments disabled is not a blog… If there is no interactivity, then why call it a Web Log. It’s more of a site!

    @Ryan: Dude, have you got more spam yesterday, 14 more for me. And i posted about this on teh forums, reckon it;s a bot! http://wordpress.com/forums/topic.php?id=838&replies=1#post-4260

    Well first don’t attack my readers for their own views. The first few months I had blogger, comments weren’t an option. You could try to get like HaloScan to work but it didn’t always work for me
