I’ve just had a little run of spam comments get through Akismet on my personal site.
What differentiated these spam comments from all the others that do or don’t make it through the filters, is that these ones were actually relevant to the content of the article they were posted to.
Track of the Day: Architecture in Helsinki - Debbie
Spam Comment: “What a magnifcent world of clip-making”
Internet Censorship in Australia, AKA the “Clean Feed” - Do Not Want
Spam Comment: “And how can we avoid thi problem in any other way????”
Chilli Jam Recipe
Spam Comment: “It’s a little bit sharp but all in all it tastes delicious.”
Quicksilver Post to Wordpress with Title Script
Spam Comment: “Where can I downlod his qicksilver”
If any of these had come through individually I probably would have thought the poster was a standard internet stupid person and not bothered with it, however these came all at once, on a series of completely unrelated posts, which gave them away instantly.
Spammers really are their own worst enemies. I suppose if they were a bit smarter they’d do something productive with their lives.
