No, I’m not going to Spam you, nor I am going to patronize Spammers, but at times I just couldn’t help but laugh upon looking at my Akismet Spam Tab of my blog, where hundreds of spam comments and trackbacks are being eaten up by this simple yet powerful Blog Spam police.
Since my anti-Spam Akismet is set to capture and arrest comments with more than one link to another sites, a few valid comments are also moderated each day - that is why I spend a few minutes browsing thru the Spam comments and rescue those valid comments from vanishing into oblivion.
The Spammers are really diligent these days, thanks to softwares and auto-comment bots that made it even easier to submit comments automatically to hundreds of blogs all at the same time. Most spam comments and messages are all about porn sites and sex subjects (all types you can think of, including dogs, horses and cats - I haven’t seen mice and earthworms included yet on their super long list), pills (viagra, * enlargers), medicines (tramadol), gambling and casinos, and bad credits among others.
Some Spam comments are too long it could make one book chapter. An example is the common porn/sexual comment below. Note - I took the liberty to replace obscene terms and words with * (asterisk) to make this post child friendly:
Check out * * * * in * * * * additionally * * * * * and * * *, *, *, * on * * * , * *, * *.***********************.*******. Amazing isn’t it? Some comments are gibberish, and needs some translation, like “выглядит настоящим произведением.”
Spam comments are certainly a normal sight each day for most bloggers. In fact, others would even consider it a spam even if they know the person who commented when leaving comments such as:
Great Post!
Nice article!
Your post is interesting. Thanks Admin!
Some spam comments looked like valid comments at first, but checking at the URL link, you would know its a spam. But still other sites look like nice sites too, and the comments are almost sensible, just like this one:
This is a very informative post. Thanks for the information i will certainly apply your recommendation…
I was about to click on the NOT SPAM tick-box when I noticed which post this comment was left for: It was for my post about the President of the Philippines’ Salary Increase.
More sample Spam comments goodness. Enjoy!
I was searching in Google and came across this blog. Interesting!

Meron pa, “Thanks webmaster”, wahahaha.. Ako ngsasawa lalo pa’t di ko na-enable ang askimet ko sa iba kong blogs..

Haha, that is why, I still configured my Comments to moderate first time commenters. That way, its even more safer. There’s a downside though - Commenters won’t be seeing their comments right away.

how’d you know that those were spams? the “thank yous” and the “you gave me an idea” sort of comments?

I’m having fun with spam: if I’m able to eat that for breakfast!
“Thanks for allowing me comment!” - I haven’t seen this before, and I laughed.

@Dyimz, LOL - that’s a spam comment.
Hehe
@Gem, I thought some of my comments in your blog were considered spam too as those were not displayed.
Actually there are lots of funny spam comments worthy of blogging I guess.
Great to know Akismet really worked - but unfortunately, there’s no way it would filter out not to moderate comments from previously approved commenters when they leave another URL link - just like yours, so it there, I approved it manually.
@Ms. Elle, I think children like you should have another blogging platform to protect you from the evils of the internet world - like, probably install the Firefox plugin Glubble - you should check it out
[Reply]
Haha! I was afraid that comment would really end up as spam. I noticed that it went to that “awaiting moderation” state. That’s the way it is in Wordpress with that Akismet thing.
I’ve noticed that everybody tried their funny best to leave their own spam versions.
We all enjoyed it! I think everyone loves to spam you this once!

Comment moderation for me is still the best control. I actually approve all comments on my blog. Doing so, it also makes be read all the comments that gets posted and reply to them the soonest.

@cyril, actually, there’s the Math comment plugin as Ceblogger said. I have been using it with my other blogs. But not with Bloggista.com yet.
@Metz - LOL, that’s another spam comment commonly used. Haha - I forgot to include that one.

I guess Bloggista should have an article about spams every month, maybe titled as ‘Spam Comments of the Month’?

Sometimes we might be mistaken some of comments too as spam especially with the beginners. What im doing to know if its a spam or not is ask the commentator and if he or she replies back i give this person a chance because not all of us knows how the proper commenting and let us not judge them.
