Dealing with spam comments

Posted on September 17, 2009 | Comments Off on Dealing with spam comments

I used to get these all the time until I changed my comment system, which eliminated the spam but also did in several longtime commenters who suddenly couldn’t figure out the new system. Bill Peschel had a better, well, simpler, idea. It probably won’t work and it takes more time than I’d want to devote, but it’s a hoot.

    I don’t know. I like the idea, but the “delete” button in Haloscan is so easily clicked that I didn’t have any troubles with cleanup yet. Sometimes I even leave the comments, removing the links…

    When I switched systems I was gathering scores of spam comments every day. I got tired of deleting them.
