Man, I Hate Spam
2006-09-20 06:14:00 by Eric Marvets in The Security Samurai
 

I finally broke down and had to deal with the spammers on my blog today.  They post so many spam entries per day and with my current workload I can't spend this amount of time cleaning out the bad entries.  As a stop gap, I have prevented any URL from being submitted in the URL and Comments fields of my site.  You can put your name and a comment, but any attempt to put in a URL or place a link within your comment will cause the site to accept your request, but do nothing with it.  I don't want to throw an exception that may tip the mindless spammers off and cause them to try some other stupid scam.

Sorry if you legitimately want to put a link back to your blog in the comments.  And I am extremely sorry if you accidentally do it and you find your efforts were wasted.

-Eric Marvets
