Spampant

I’ve become an overnight success. No, actually, it’s just spam. Comments like this:

“Sounds great! Your blog is one of my most favorite now ;). You have hit the nail on the head, just like you always do.”

and this:

“Oh… Your blog used to be nice, but now it’s spoiled. Stop posting trash like that or stop posting at all.”

have started popping up all over the place. If you run a blog, you’re probably aware of this “comment masquerading” spam already. It actually fooled me the first time. I’m going to delete them for now, and eventually I’ll block them from even getting through, or require user accounts to post (something I don’t want to do). Like I don’t have better things to do with my time than deal with this.

If you don’t run a blog, lock up your emails and bar your doors because you’re next.

The problem with spam is not the spammers. They’re fucks but there is an ever greater menace: the spam customer. Somewhere there’s a complete tard who is actually giving these people a viable business model. Stop being so dumb — I beseech you.
