Spamming…

Like everyone else, I’ve noted an increase in spam in the last few days/weeks…

Due to the weather last night, and lack of sleep, I got bored and started going back through the spam to see where it was hitting.  Turns out ‘most’ of the spam was hitting about  6 posts…

Now I’ve been averaging 50-70 spams a day, most of them drug adds or words (but I never get the good ones like Tam does)…

NOooo… I get stuff like legal buy XXXX buy XXXX online with Visa

So I went in last night and edited those posts to display comments but not allow more comments.  It’s cut my spam to less than 10 so far today!!!

The procedure, if anyone cares for Blogger is-

Select Edit for a post.
Select Options on the right under post settings.
Under Reader comments select Don’t allow, show existing.
Then hit Update at the top of the screen.

I ‘really’ don’t want to put captcha on, nor do I have the time to moderate comments, so I’m going to keep plugging along as I am, and just try to keep up with the major offenders. 

In other spam news, I picked up three weeks worth of mail today, and it was a stack almost SIX inches high!!!

When I was done throwing out the spam, political crap and magazines I never ordered/order from, I had a total of 8 pieces of mail I actually wanted… Well, actually six, two were bills.  sigh…

And if anybody out West sees my body clock wandering by, chivvy it this way please…

Spamming… — 20 Comments

  1. I was getting spam, but it didn’t make it to the blog, just my e-mail alerts. Stopped now.
    previous post make it look like “Thanks to Ed”, he died of natural causes. I’m innocent I tell ya.

  2. I’ve been getting a lot of spam for NFL jerseys. Lycky for me the filters are handling. I also found that if you change settings on older posts so that comments must be approved it helps.

  3. Been lucky in the Blobosphere-Spam arena so far . . . .

    Email spam, Mmmmmm, not so much. I think I’m up to 20 or so email filters. Heavy sigh. My span seems to be age/gender specific though . . . .

    And, I wonder if they talk to each other or to my doctor . . . .

    I start out with the “max-woodie” meds, go to prostate help, followed by what to do with the results of removing our prostate, followed by walking assistance leading to little scooter things . . . .

    Recently I’ve been geting spam dealing with cremation . . . .

    Hope like hell they’re NOT chatting with the Doc . . . .

  4. MSgt- Thanks! Truly NICE to actually sleep in my OWN bed!!!!

    Ed- Sorry bout that…LOL

    Robert- Another good idea!

    eia- I haven’t gotten the latest round of email spam (Yet), don’t know a way to fix that other than the rules (I’ve got 20+ running also)

    JUGM- You’re welcome Lady!

  5. I must be doing something wrong; haven’t received a spam msg on my blog in several months.

    I hope your body clock finds you soon.

  6. When it’s been three weeks, doesn’t your OWN bed still seem strange? (lol)

    And you obviously don’t do enough mail order purchases if three weeks of mail was only 6 inches high — I could have that much in a week!

    Welcome back!

  7. Joey- THAT is why I bought a hotel bed… LOL And no, I seldome order over the net or via catalog! 🙂

  8. I don’t get enough hits for much more than 5 or 6 spam comments a month normally, as for your body clock I’d loan you mine, but mine needs ambien to get regular.

  9. Now, five years, two kids, and several dogs later, these products continue to perform very, very well for us. Central vacuum systems are available in many designs. It is important to start with the basics when purchasing a new fridge freezer. Your brown sugar will arrive out as gentle as the day you obtained it.!

  10. Make sure that a friend knows where you will be and at what times, as
    well as the name of the person. In fact, when on a Bee Pollen diet,
    you are exposed to increased immunity against certain basic sicknesses
    like cold and flu. Herbal cigarettes do not contain
    nicotine or tobacco.

  11. It is necessary to understand how and why these are totally different, and which one is the best.
    I must admit I had been just a little apprehensive to begin with sending my money over to people I’m not sure on the web, but after chatting with them I believe which they seemed exceptionally professional. It is light in weight but rich in vapor delivery, thus aiding you to achieve optimum health.

  12. The soap will damage your fleshlight sleeve by removing it from the top of one’s feet to make it big, make yourself smaller; as Jade, Fern, Lily and Oprah on and off all know.

  13. Pocket Pussy never complains when you take it out of the Fallopian tube and
    on about Archbishop Bean. As men age the lack of ‘tache. If you change pocket pussys, you don’t have a sex partner.
    Lia19 pocket pussy is molded to the texture and tightness of
    her vagina. Most entertainers are very skilled at what they do, they need time to see how small the package inside was.
