Blog get spammed!!?! how to stop it?

  • I couldn’t believe my eyes when I checked my mail today. I had 32 new mails informing about new comments at my blog (I have to approve them first before those get published). When I checked the mails and comments they were all from the same “person” and the comments make no sense (e.g. “sometimes a cigar is just a cigar” ) so I guess this is a new way of spamming. All were from “free texas holdem” with the e-mail addie: [email protected] (which doesn’t exist) and url: https://www.I’m _a_stupid spammer.com and this “person” or what ever the heck this is has commented on every entry I’ve ever made in my blog. This is just annoying!! Every comment had a different IP (which I’m not sure are the IP’s for real or stolen so I’m afraid to block them if those belong to my friends) has anyone had the same problem? I remember someone posted some time ago about blog spamming.. but what can I do if this goes on? Even right now my outlook is receiving new messages but oh no it’s a different url and e-mail this time! Author : free online poker (IP: 61.66.230.42 , 61.66.230.42) E-mail : [email protected] URL:https://www.I’m _another_stupid spammer.com. what can I do? Is there any way to stop this? ??

  • I have used word press on two not for profit sites that are concerned with environment and forestry policy. One of them gets no comment spam yet, the other gets poker guys crap. Not too much yet. But I can tell from these posts it is going to get annoying enough that the people who should be minding the site will just give up with it. I am not the saviest when it comes to the net, but am amazed that this type of spam is so hard to control. Can’t or isn’t there anyone out there who can simply follow the money and arrest these guys??

    We are in a prisoners dilemma here if we (or rather the skilled good-guy programers) keep reacting to the different methods that these clowns use to ruin our blogs. If these comment spammers are spamming these blogs that have nothing to do with poker, then I suppose they are doing it so that there search engine hits increase. I read a post by someone who decided to leave the poker guys posts up and their site stats went up. So if we all do that, well…. the prisoners dilema…

    Anyway, I came here to find a quick solution to poker guys annoyances and now see that a quick solution is not in the books. Hence my rant about following the money. I put these sites together on a volunteer basis and find the time to upkeep them and try to get others to do the same, Poker guys crap is going to make that hard to do…

    Poker guy must make money by comment spamming us. What we need to do is somehow follow that money and utilize new anti spam legislation to put an end to it. I know it is not as simple as that; that is the nature of a collective action problem, and when I say we, I mean all the users of the internet who don’t like spam, so not a very focused group… but… oh what the hell, *sigh* I am just wasting time ranting, will go delete the spam and hope the ‘we’ of the internet can figure out a way to make spam go away…
    First step… don’t make it valuable to spammers, delete all of your comment spam…
