Dear Comment Spammers

Posted At : March 27, 2008 11:53 AM | Posted By : Gary Gilbert

I write this blog mostly for my own enjoyment and to hopefully provide people who read my blog with some insightful and useful information every now and then.

I like to receive comments from my readers on what they think of my articles, whether they like them or not, or give me suggestions on what I can do better, or ask questions.

You do realize of course that I delete every single spam comment you post and will eventually resort to moderating my comments, so why don't you do everyone a huge favor and just piss off eh?

Yours Sincerely,

Michael Sharman's Gravatar I hear you, currently I'm over 52,000 spam comments...yeah thanks for that spammers.

Akismet is a life saver though, so it's not too much of a bother. But agreed that it's a dead set shocker.

Gary's Gravatar I know captcha is not perfect but I don't think those are bots that are posting... hey I may be wrong but its nice to get it off my chest now and then...

Kay Smoljak's Gravatar Seriously, CAPTCHA is THE WORST. I hate it so bad I nearly didn't leave this comment. But I thought I should tell you that I manage five blogs and with Akismet, the number of spam comments I actually see would number less than 20 per year. And closing comments on posts older than three months cuts out most of those 20. So there's really no need to inconvenience or completely turn away people by having a CAPTCHA.
