One of the biggest spam magnets on my blogsite is the blog mela. for some peculiar reason – both the blogmelas that i have hosted have attracted the only s*pa*m that that this site has seen. The first one attracted ever single p0k er site from texas to russia which would come in post inane comments like “nice blog” with a link. After battling it for some time, the tube light in brain finally switched on, and i turned off the comments. AFterall, no sensible blogger is going to comment on a weekly round up of Indian bloggers – more than a week after the event.
This time around, the spamming has been bizaare. No it is not pr0n, nor it it pk0er. It is something called naked truth. But, naked truth has no link(s). It seemingly involves genuine bloggers with genuine blogs coming on to this particular post and leaving extremely cryptic comments on it. I went back to the sites that had posted the comments, and they seem to be active and decent blogs. Decent meaning – decent to read. One was full of movie reviews – and i am referring to classics here not pr0n, the other seemed to be a couple who are also christians writing about books.
i googled the comment and obviously a whole bunch of people have an identical comment on their sites. But, why?
The scary part is that i cant’ even use the spam filter on this. because these are commonly used phrases.
Anyone who has any suggestions on this, or who has been spammed by someone like this – please help!
