Since Friday I’ve been completely bombarded with spam. The majority of it is a straight-up jumble of letters and numbers so I barely have to glance at it before hitting SPAM!, but some is cleverly disguised as a real post.
“This is very informative!”
“More people should be aware of this post.”
“You are a fabulous writter.”
Yeah, the typo was a clue that all wasn’t kosher. I’m not sure what karmic deity I upset in the past week or so, but I’m sorry!
Have you noticed an uptick in spam lately?
Mine was getting horrible!! I downloaded askimet & I can’t believe how it takes care of it. So – nope. I haven’t noticed an increase since I no longer have to deal with it! w00t! It’s free – try it!
**Note** This is not a spam mail for askimet advertising. 😉
Is that free? I started loading it and it looked like I’d have to pay, so I stopped. But at this point I’m willing to pay for it.
I think I’ve had one spam message on my blog in all the time it’s been up. They like you more than me. 🙁
That, or my word verification is working. 🙂

I have mine set up that I have to approve first time commenters, so that filter’s caught all the comments, but I still have to go through them all. Very annoying.
I have been getting some spam from several incarnations of a jonn (jonn1, jonn2, jonn3) that come through on the e-mail account associated with my web site. And I received one e-mail from an unidentified source that said “Danger danger Will Robinson.”
I love spam! I think it’s funny! They give you vague compliments, and when you look at their web address it’s something like “enlargeyourvagina.net”.
OMG Robin, I’ve been laughing about that email address for two days now.
The compliments ARE nice… 🙂
I’ve been hit with more spam lately too. It’s been crazy. Most of it doesn’t get through but it’s all fucking annoying.
