Comment Spam

Spammers are despicable. Comment spammers are even more despicable.

OK, so … I got my second actual comment spam today … and it was much more of a pain than I had anticipated (of course, that’s mostly because I put together this post complaining about it instead of simply deleting the posts).

The worst part is, the domains are all registered through domainsbyproxy dot com, which I think is just fitting, considering the anonymous coward didn’t even provide a legitimate email address.

Anyway , do not, under any circumstances, shop at any of these despicable dealers:

• Do NOT go to musical-instruments online dot com — if you’re looking for information on — tune a bass guitar or acoustic bass guitar or for a headset microphone
• Do NOT go to golf equip online dot com — if you’re looking for information on — golf ball monogrammer or left handed golf clubs or golf club exchange
• Do NOT go to background checks-online dot com — if you’re looking for information on — public criminal record check or criminal court records or hamilton county court record (why?)
• Do NOT go to loose weight effectively dot com — if you’re looking for information on — weight loss calculator or herb weight loss
• Do NOT go to flat screen tvs online dot net — if you’re looking for information on — lcd monitors or plasma tv buying guide or lcd flat screen
• Do NOT go to teleconference call services dot com — if you’re looking for information on — cheap conference calling
• Do NOT go to new-car priceguides dot com — if you’re looking for information on — 2004 lincoln navigators or audi a4’s
• Do NOT go to buy new cars-online dot com — if you’re looking for information on — corvette for sale or a car dealer
• Do NOT go to new car-quotes dot com — if you’re looking for information on — wrangler or a land rover
• Do NOT go to persian rugs online dot net — if you’re looking for information on — a hamadan
• Do NOT go to texas loan information dot com — if you’re looking for information on — texas home equity
• Do NOT go to wholesale-pricing dot com — if you’re looking for information on — all clad

• Do NOT go to area rugs online dot net — if you’re looking for information on — cheap area rugs

Oh, and in case you can’t figure it out, I ran myself a little search-and-replace and removed the links, and removed the original “advertisment” text before I posted it … I actually put the keywords and url text on this page in hopes of completely messing with their heads.

I’m going to have to change my settings … I actually had it set up before that you couldn’t use html at all in comments (although textile processing is always available[ ]), but when I upgraded to the latest WordPress over the weekend, it turned back on the ability for people to put html into the comments, and I figured I wouldn’t worry about it because nobody had ever tried anything. Boy was I wrong.

Well, it would serve them right if this warning page actually showed up when people went tooking for these things, but mostly I’m just venting. Phaugh!
