Spamming here

I have noticed a number of spamming items being posted here as trackbacks in an attempt to get more inbound links. I have since enabled the antispam feature to prevent spammy links in trackbacks. It is a whopping 100+ pages of garbage to refuse to allow in URLs. Also, the system sends me all comments for review before posting. So, if someone wants to post a reply here, and it's spam, nobody but I will see it, and it goes into the trash.

The next step, I think, might be to go after these people for their misconduct. Whether they can be sued or get anything from them is problematic, but at this point I seriously hope to find some way to take care of them, hopefully in a debilitatiting, crippling and agonizingly painful form that they never recover from. Or, if you think that's a misuse of a preposition, let's say I hope some of these spammers are crippled for life and never recover.

Paul's Comments

Welcome to My blog! This is where I store my thoughts so that I can come back to them at some point in the future. This allows me a place like a journal to keep what I'm thinking about. But anyone else is welcome to visit; I make this place public so that other people can hear what I'm thinking.

This is where I make comments on any subject I find of interest. My political comments are in the Politics section, and technical items are in the Computers section. Note, if you want to make a comment, e-mail it to me at paul@paul-robinson.us. I am sorry that I had to disable comments, but after I had deleted the 300th worthless piece of spam comment on this blog and receiving exactly zero valid comments, I decided to stop allowing spammers to excrement all over me and my blog. If you have *anything* at all to say, send it to me in e-mail; if it is even the slightest bit relevant - even if I don't agree with it, I will post it. (As soon as I find a way to stop spammers from posting junk I'll allow direct comments.) Note that if you are a visitor and post a comment, it defaults to "draft" meaning I have to approve it before it is visible, so if you're posting spam, don't bother, nobody will see it.
