Odd spam
Until I can write some sort of anti-comment spam code for this weblog, I have all submitted comments go into a queue where I can approve them. I even have this right above the submit button:
Until I do a little more work, all comments will be screened; your comment won’t show up right away.
But still, I get comment spam. I don’t get very much, but there are a few folks peddling certain pharmaceutical products that try and sneak some comments in. If they did it only once, and then left me alone after realizing that their comments weren’t making it through, I could understand. But they come back, time and again, and leave the same annoying comments that will never get approved.
This isn’t the worst of it. I also have a comment spammer or two who insists on posting very odd diatribes. No links, no email address, nothing of any particular worth. Just rambles like this:
I've more or less been doing nothing worth mentioning, but eh. My life’s been really bland today…
I've received a few variations of that kind of comment above. So very strange. Surely I'm not the only one getting this kind of odd comment spam, am I?
