SPAM with butter.
Unbelievable.
When I think about spam, words like “porn”, “casino”, and “penis enlargement” come to mind. For the most part, I’ve taken all the precautions for ensuring that these annoyances never reach my email inbox. But this blog, with its open comments feature, has left the door open for robots to invade me with these stupid messages. So what are they using - “XXX”, “girls”, “Viagra”?
How about flattery?
Yes, for the past week this blog has been spammed… with compliments! Scattered through out old posts I made in early May, these guys have been leaving random (and very generic) compliments about my site.
“Just stopped by to visit and got the crunch on your stuff in here - bravo!”
“So very glad I found this truly great site 
”
“I happened upon this site while following the links from another site. Your site is wonderful and i bookmarked it. Thank your for the hard work you must have put in to create this wonderful facility. Keep up the excellent work”
“Hello. May I rent your layout for my site? ”
What the hell? All they do is leave a comment, a fake email address (which wouldn’t even show up on the site), and no link to anything. And they do this a couple of times a day. What are they trying to gain from this? Stupid spammers…
So yeah, I just thought this was funny but very annoying at the same time. Has anyone else had this problem?
