Spam, can it get any worse?

Spam, can it get any worse?

Wow its amazing how time has flown by over the last couple of weeks, it does not seem that long ago that I was writing about ringtones.  Its been a busy couple of weeks due to one thing and another and I’ve not had chance to get back to the blog to write anything.  So I decided to make an effort today to write about anniversaries of products.

So I went through the usual of logon to the wordpress admin and was just about to press the Add New post button when I noticed the number of comments in the pending state, 68 to be precise.  Now since I have the approval stuff turned on wouldnt you think it was a complete waste of time sending strange spam comments!

Maybe I’ve missed a trick somewhere but since I just do a batch delete all of spam messages no-one ever sees them.  The people who do the spamming must know that they are not getting posted as comments, so why bother.  Its a really shame that the internet has gotten itself into this strange state, I’m sure I read a fact about email that 90% of it was spam or some silly number like that.  I wonder what the percentage of blog comments are spam?  Maybe some researcher can have a look into this.

Its something we just have to live with and cannot get any worse…… can it?
