Have you made a comment on this blog which didn’t ever show up? We’d like to know.
You know all those ads for viagra and breast enlargments and hot stockmarket tips you get in your email boxes? Well, blogs get them too, in the form of comment spam. Nasty little spambots volley these at our blog all day every day.
Yesterday we had 334 comments stopped by our spam-catching program. Good girl, Spam Karma 2.
A couple of weeks ago, when some particulalry nasty and sticky spam comments came our way, we upped the settings from “normal” to “kinda mean”. We haven’t yet gone to “total beatch”.
Although I’ve been checking, I can’t look over the 100 - 400 comments labelled as spam each day. I think all is working as it should, but I’d really like to know if you have ever had a comment not show up.
You can answer in the comments here…oh…no…wait….better email us at: librarian at librariesinteract dot info. (Add the relevant punctuation.)
