The extent to which people will go to separate you from your money is ridiculously amazing sometimes.
I was thinking about this when it got to be time to go through and see the fish caught in the helpful spam net provided by WordPress – comments that never made it to my blogs because of their suspicious nature. There have been rare occasions where a legitimate comment got caught – this was WordPress being cautious, and frankly, I’m glad about it. It does mean though that I can’t just go to the spam filter and press the “flush” button. Each comment needs to be scanned.
Enter the noticeably crazy games people have tried to play, just to get their website link posted to my blog.
Take this one for instance, posted on my “About Wolfshades” page:
I find myself extremely very happy to have encountered your website page and search to an abundance of more cool times reading here. Appreciate it once again for a number of things.
Non-specific praise, designed to appeal to the ego, I guess. Poorly written non-specific praise. Here, let me just ahead and unblock the comment, out of sheer gratefulness.
Or we could just move on to the next one, on the same page:
Phenomenal is the perfect option to describe this particular article. Its been months since Ive found such magnificent content. I couldnt agree on this topic.
“Magnificent”! Wow. I wonder what he found objectionable though. Obviously it was something or he would agree with me. And what problem did he find with the post, given that the subject matter was ..a little subjective, as it was about me? Let’s move on.
Check out on my site Unrealesed movies for freeee !!!
This one’s easy: “NO”
You need give assistance with my site, please can anybody look in?
A cry for help! An appeal to my manly desire to show off my extensive knowledge. OK then – first off: grab a book on grammar. Read a few pages. Familiarize yourself with basic English. For the record: the only “need” I have is to get some more sleep. Or have more wine, depending upon the time of day.
I’ve been wondering about the same factor myself lately. Delighted to see a man or woman on a single wavelength! Nice article.
Note to spammers: best do a bit of research and make a hard decision before making your pitch. Is your victim a man or a woman? Don’t be so vague – it’s insulting. Or I should say: more insulting than just your clear desire to advertise your Ugg boots on my page.
An intriguing discussion will probably be worth comment. There’s no doubt that that you can write much more on this topic,
Since you tried to post this on my “about me” page, I’d have to say you nailed it. I *could* write much more about me. I’m my favourite topic. I could talk about me all day. Would you like to know more about my amazing intellect or my drop dead gorgeous good looks? Take your time. This is Important Stuff.
Im no expert, on the other hand believe mobile computer designed a top notch point point. You undoubtedly realise what youre talking over, and so i will surely fall behind that.
OMG. Don’t don’t hurt hurt yourself.
I love scrambled eggsпїЅпїЅ physical exercises donпїЅпїЅt seem pretty much as good another way! I really do decide to make them while in the microwave, though!
Dude. Now you’re not even trying. I can’t respect a lazy spammer. Go have some more eggs, and try hard not to choke on them.
I was just talking with my coworker about this the other day at Outback steak house. Dont know how in the world we landed on the subject actually , they brought it up. I do recall having a excellent chicken salad with ranch on it. I digress
You sure do. And I decline. Try again? (N/N)
And now, because the rest are variations on the above, one final one, which someone attempted to post on my “About me” page:
We might live like this under mans laws but not by GODS LAWS. These people are wrong by our lords law and marraige is mam@ woman, so go ahead with this cause we dont have a right to judge you but GOD DOES.
Your poor attempt to provoke a comment fight has failed. If you weren’t trying to sell me something I might have bitten. I’m sending Bruce and Terry over to set you straight by the way. They’re pretty sure you’re just as fabulous as they are.
I, too, have been receiving a lot of spam comments recently. I wonder if it’s because of the holidays…. :|
Anyway Happy New Year wolfshades.

So those notes I thought I was getting from some far off planet were actually spam? I thought it was someone trying to reach me using coded messages.

They are coded. The translation is: believe everything I’m saying and also please send money.
