Hi boys and girls. There is a really rude piece of shit
spammer leaving comments in the comment sections.
They use the name "Sarah Elizabeth". PLEASE, don't
click on their link. 2/3 of their spam comments end up
in my spam folder. They leave about 3 to 5 a day. It's
been going on for weeks and I'm getting weary of it.
I would love to form a vigilante group and go after
them. Ideas?

Don't ask me why, but a woman always looks classier in a dress, although 2 and 9 look like sexy nighties.
ReplyDeletePS I think a lot of the spammers are Lefty trolls. Wish I could help otherwise.
edutcher, my spam folder runneth over.
DeleteThose dresses are all fille out rather nicely.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing not actually trolls or real people, most likely bots of some sort. They seem to show up when reaching a level of popularity. Banning specific IPs sometimes helps but they wind up faking that.
mer, I've been thinking it is a troll, and I can probably name him. It couldn't be a real someone selling something. They wouldn't want to piss off a potential customer.
DeleteThey pop up all over the place. 90 miles from Tyranny had to start moderating, Granite Grok has them coming in from Disqus.
Deletemer, I'm sure it's just meant to annoy us. There's another one right below us.
DeleteIs there any kind of programmatic control you have over posts? I can imagine any semi-decent piece of code could filter out this crap.
ReplyDeleteHank, I know some code, but these are beyond me.
DeleteIf I was to pick, I think #1 is the best. #8 looks like a mannequin.
ReplyDeleteI've seen the spam on another blog or two. And had a couple on mine. Not a real blog person so a bot of some sort that is probably put out by alphabet soup or whatever they call themselves.
You all be safe and God bless!
LindaG, I'm kind of stuck on #4. I HATE SCAMMERS!
DeleteImpeccable taste in women suh. Well done.
ReplyDeleteTeeRoy Jenkins, thanks! I was rather proud of myself on this morning's picks.
Delete#5 !!
ReplyDeleteChain that to the bed and order in enough pizza to last 3 days.
Keep EMS on speed dial handy.
I'm not as young as I used to be.
Phil, Check in once in awhile so we know you're OK.
