Blog Spam.

Whenever anyone posts a comment, I get an email informing me so.

Someone just posted spam in the form of a comment, for something I wrote 2 months ago. It consists of a URL to a gambling site, as well as some random text on gambling ensuing it. Newsgroups were ruined by selfish spammers; email followed… are blogs next?

Update on Piracy Film: I’ve amassed about 200+ pages of articles from journals on the issue of filesharing and copyright, and am now in the process of sifting through the stack.

I’m surprised to be honest by the sheer number of people who are against the principles of the media industries on this unbiast search.

Update: Deleted another spamtacular comment. This one was much more straight forward, with a URL to the “Online Top Casino”. Bastards.

    Comment spam has been a problem for a good while now – consider yourself lucky that it’s just now starting to hit your site. I have some experience with WordPress as well, and have found that the Trencaspammers plugin works great, as do a few others. Take a look around, and good luck!
