Comment Poetry

I had not received any spam comments on this blog until December 20th. Since then? About 25 a day, but a healthy 277 spam comments came in on December 27th.

Where are they all, you ask? Well, thankfully WordPress has an option for automatic comment moderation based on the number of links. More than two links in the comment? It won’t appear unless I approve it.

I thought I would post here for your reading pleasure the three most recent spam comments. They all start out generally making sense, but then the drugs kick in.

I’m asking myself: How can it be that I’ve never ran through your site before? It’s a great one! when Table Steal Pair Play, Standard is feature of Collective Cosmos Round can Loose Mistery , Forecast Destroy Create – that is all that Game is capable of Astonishing is feature of Superb Corner

Hi. Just letting you know that I enjoyed your site. Profound is feature of Greedy Circle, Big Boy is always Lazy Soldier Good Cosmos Create or not , Faithful Grass Play or not Green is feature of Collective Table

Very original content. I really like your site. Destroy Game is very good Tournament, Circle will Gnome unconditionally Red Grass becomes Greedy Plane in final , Bad Stake becomes Tremendous Table in final right Table will Double Cosmos without any questions

The strange thing is all the links in the comments go to legitimate sites. I haven’t actually followed them, but I recognise links like ranchero.com, abc.net.au/news and cnn.com. Anyway, remember that for the future kiddies – if you’re going to link more than twice in a comment it might never be seen.

If you want any advice on comment spam, particularly in relation to WordPress, this post asks the question and gets relevant suggestions.
