Interesting…

I’ve been watching my blog pretty closely the last couple of weeks, and I’ve been averaging about 8-10 spams a day, and maybe ONE a week on my Gmail acct.  Well, after putting up that non-PC thoughts post, I got over 100 spams in one day on the blog and 20 on my gmail account…

Can’t help but wonder if there is a tie in… Hello NSA, any answers???

This also happened the last time I put up something that wasn’t really PC…  So in that vein, here’s one on the Zimmerman verdict.

Here’s the header on the website-

Please read this first!: This survey focuses specifically on some of the most underreported (or misreported) facts in this case — facts that challenge many of the preconceptions created by the news media’s coverage of this topic. It is not meant to be a balanced or comprehensive list of all the evidence and is not a scientific poll. Although anyone can take the survey, it is designed primarily for those who already believe that George Zimmerman should have been found “guilty” and focuses on facts that may contradict their assumptions — facts most people don’t know because they were ignored or widely misreported by a news media that wanted to tell a particular story.

And HERE is the link.  Warning, it’s a time sink if you go read all the links!!!

  1. Spam is odd, sometimes it gets crazy. And sometimes it is quiet. I installed that math captcha that helps screen out some of the spam action.

    Very interesting Zimmerman link. I’ll have to go through it some more.

  2. I had to up my security a bit to filter out the spam, too. Good luck with your effort. As for the link, I didn’t read it. Not because it is too long, but because i am just fucking tired of the whole Zimmerman mess. Black and wanna be black white people will hate him and white’s will support him. Truth, facts and reason have nothing to do with it. But thanks for taking the time to post the link.

  3. N1- Thanks, mine has been caught pretty well, but this is the first spike I’ve seen in a month or so.

    CP- Understood and I can’t say you’re wrong.

  4. Your spam just means you have universal appeal…
    Interesting Zimmerman case info, well worth the read.

  5. Most of my spam seems to be effusive praise that sounds like English as a second language and “here is my site.” GMail is Lasik, dating service, loan offers, insurance and the like; probable 20 a day.

  6. Almost no spam on the blog, lots of spam on the e-mail acct. The e-mail spam gets a bit strange as they think I’m a guy, sure glad I’m not because guys seem to have a lot of things that need fixing by “ladies” from foreign countries, lonely housewives, and pill pushers…
    Interesting article on the Zimmerman case.

  7. Brighid- LOL, not even going there!!! And I thought it was interesting also.

    WSF- I’ve pretty well got those all rule based directly into the spam bucket, but yeah every once in a while a new set comes through and I have to dump them too…

  8. And that was probably me. “maybe ONE a week on my Gmail acct.”
