My regular readers know what a hard time I had with spam when I first started. No, not the typical barrage of spam you get from other people – I was spam! I couldn’t crawl out of the Akismet hole I must have inadvertently dug for myself. Well, one of the best serious history writers in Blogland, J. G. Burdette, took a swipe at spammers swarming her site today.
You should check it out if you don’t read her regularly. Then become a regular reader.
For those spammers who can’t spell, she included this poem in her comment box. Maybe that’s how I became a spammer in the first place – poor spelling. I had to look up raspberry the other day. I couldn’t even spell it right when WP told me it was wrong. After two tries, I gave up and googled it.
Did I just admit that I can’t spell?? Yikes, I’m getting much too comfortable with all of you. Are my clothes all still on? (Pat, pat, pat) Yep. I haven’t come that clean! Whew!
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.
I love to write about spam,. My husband hesitantly told me yesterday that my MAJOR fault is a short fuse. When my fuse blows with Spammers, I write. You can tell by the number of posts, that my fuse has sputtered into flame several times! 🙂 There were a few others that came up when I did a search of my website, but I think Spam was just a passing word.

I was having trouble with spam on my website and have had a few on my blog. Not sure how to deal with it but it’s advised to change passwords frequently and to be sure they have upper and lower case letters, some numbers and a symbol (!$% sort of thing).

I haven’t had any major trouble since WP shut me down, and I wrote to them and they turned me back on again. That was heartbreaking! Seriously! But the end result is that I barely get spam, and I’m not spam anymore! I just got a premium theme, and upgraded, so I’ll see how that goes. I haven’t tried changing passwords frequently. That would be the end of me!

You know how a lot of this spam is just a bunch of gibberish? This was concerning an entirely different matter but an acquaintance explained such typers as playing patty cake with the keyboard. I thought I’d die laughing. I know, I know, it isn’t nice to make fun of spammers. 😉

What was funny and not funny for me was that I was ending up as SPA in all my friend’s folders. Then I started being spam in my own SPAM folder!

How where you able to fix that … ????? Know very little about spam .. know it’s just automatic sent emails … terrible, people should get a job instead of sitting making life more difficult for others.

I didn’t fix it. WP closed my account one day, and I wrote all my frustrations to them, and they fixed it. I’ve never had any other problems. 🙂

Poor grammar, poor spelling, and links are sure signs of spam. I’ve been inundated by spam in Chinese or some such language recently. It hit seriously last Wednesday and Thursday but seems to have slowed down to nothing over the past 12 hours or so.

I know. It comes in spurts. I had nothing for weeks, then yesterday I looked, and I had 43. A couple of them were pretty good, and I kept them to decide later if I want to throw them away. I still am not sure what to do with pingbacks that show up there.
