The Thursday Threesome: Comment and Trackback Spam
May 26, 2005

Onesome- Comment: Are there any blogs you regularly read and comment on? Is it just to say "hi, how are you?" or is there one site that just makes you have to join in the conversation? I try to comment but I'm shy in that regard, even thought I know that I'm not talking to these people face to face. I probably comment on Laura's the most because I'm very opinionated on her family life.

Twosome- and Trackback: Does anyone actually ever really use this function of their blog? I use it occationally. Lately, it's been used as a way to spam me.

Threesome- Spam: We all hate it! Anyone have any clever ways of dealing with it? Share it with us, please. Well, since I use MT, I have Mt-Blacklist installed. Most of my spam is via trackbacks now. Spammers should be shot. Well, I have marked the words sex, poker, casino, and a few other words marked as moderate. That way, legimate comments get through me but spam is rejected. Also listed as a banned word is Foo1. Most of the spammers use that as their name.
