Freelancer's Office: Blog

I find it interesting how the same spammers locate blogs at a set time after they have been created. I have created a few WordPress blogs now, and it seems like every time I have to deal with the same exact comment spammers at about the same time after each of the blogs goes live.  It seems to be some kind of trigger goes off for the spammers to signal to them that “Oh hey! There’s a blog that has not yet been spammed over there!”  And it does not matter if I mark the dudes with the sex links as spam, he still shows up on the next site I make, so marking as spam apparently only works on a blog by blog basis, it does not seem to be something that goes into a general file to keep him off everyone’s sites.

Ah well, as long as I can ban him from each of my sites, then I guess it works okay, after all, something that someone else might mark as spam for some reason might be perfectly agreeable to 90% of the other WordPress bloggers out there, so dealing with it on a case by case basis is better than having someone else deciding for me what my readers like, right?  I mean, shoot, that’s why I have worked so hard to take control of the advertising on as many of my websites as I can, so I can judge what I feel my readers would have an interest in, not leave it up to some computer algorithm or some guy suffering from a bad day wanting to ban everyone that has the nerve to leave a comment.
