spam

Dear spammer, do not even bother spamming my blog. Your entries are filtered anyway, and links are "rel=nofollow" by default.
Any spammer will be reported to sites like www.stopforumspam.com.
Posted in reply to a recent surge of Turkish spammers, based on illegal paid blog spamming activity posted in r10 dot net. This activity has been reported to the owner of the forum.

Opening up a public website to allow people to comment is a risky endeavor nowadays. Vandalism and ‘blog spam’ can be very labor intensive to cure after an attack. Fortunately there are a couple products and services that help in fighting this Digital Evil through machine parsing.

Bored of spam (unsolicited mails)? I bet it's hard to find someone who is not at least annoyed by this intrusive phenomenon. For a couple weeks I noticed many spammers switched tactics from misspelling words in the subject to plainly insulting the addressee. It appears spammers constantly learn from online experiences to trigger your reaction. I wasn't expecting flame war tactics to emerge in the spam plague.
