A few weeks ago I went back to moderating comments, because I was getting tired of weeding out all the links to Chinese-language chat and porn sites. This has not been a bad idea, because sometimes these would-be advertisers are the only people posting comments to this blog. That's not a complaint, merely an observation.
Anywho, I opened my Gmail box to find another comment awaiting my attention. The poster's name was listed in Chinese characters, so I was prepared to eliminate it out of hand, but I like to give everyone benefit of the doubt. I clicked through to my Comment Moderation page, and found the following message:
"We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box."
Looks like someone nicked a bit of wisdom from a greeting card, and I would have allowed their comment, save for the link on the end to another porn site. So, to the spammers I say this, "Good show, and SOD OFF!!"
it is getting tedious to check out all the Chinese posts but not all are like that so I persevere.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that so few drop a comment, isn't that what keeps things going?
Hope this is not al you have been up to.

Yes, those ugly spammers, the other day I approved like 10 at one by accident! Within two minutes, I erased them all. But something must have tipped off the spammer and the lowlife scum proceeded to post a spam comment on like 100 posts... luckily I always moderate. Won't make that mistake again :)
