hmmm… what?
I mean, seriously!
3Oct2007 Filed under: Uncategorized Author: ValIt’s time for a spam rant! The other day, I went through the Akismet page of a site I run to see if there was anything valid in its trap. I don’t bother to do that with this site, I get thousands in there a day, but for that site, I do occasionally. So what did I see right away?
that’s great. Havent ever seen such offer before. Cann’t believe it’s true. Click through the links below to check if this is nt a dream!
Well, anyway, here’s the whole thing. I mean, seriously!
Yeah, that’s not obvious!
I guess their reward is that they do find people who don’t have spam protection on their blogs but for anyone who has any kind of decent blogging system, you’d also think that default settings would block that comment… you know, like the allowed links in WordPress’s options.
So I just feel like… duh… here.

See, they don’t have or keep a valid blogging system because they are so hyped up on tramadol (WEAK pain medication). What are they thinking?

I have had a few slip by Akismet recently because they were sort of on topic to my site and the post and only contained one link. You could tell by the comment though, that it was automated not done by a human. So they are getting more and more devious to try and get through.
In my case, because I don’t have a high amount of traffic, I get copies of all comments sent to my email so I caught these. On a very busy site, they might have stayed up forever!

Interesting, I’ve not had any slip by Akismet except for when I very first installed it on this site. So then I put back in place what I was using before and on this site (not any others) I use both of them. I do this because the other plugin also automatically moderates based on date which is something I need due to some older posts that attracts a lot of negative attention, lol. Unfortunately, I don’t think that plugin is available anymore…
