SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, SPAM!

The hit musical SPAM-A-LOT opens at the Kavinoky Theater in Buffalo on January 11th, and I can't wait! Adapted from the Monty Python hit comedy feature, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, writer Eric Idle, and composer John Du Prez put a musical spin on the most popular scenes of the movie. I would imagine it excludes the animation bits since doing live animation would be hell on the animator's arm.

In honor, and eager anticipation of the opening of SPAM-A-LOT I've decided to highlight some of the spam I see on my website every day. With over 530 blog entries, I have only 165 approved, and legitimate (mostly)

Holy Spam-A-Lot Batman!

comments in my blog. Fortunately I have a bunch of security set up because, I shit you not, my security has blocked, since this summer, 13,507 malicious or questionable login attempts, and 42,708 malicious or Spam comments!

And I go through them as best as I can to make sure there aren't false positives, but when the spam receptacle has over 200 comments in it at all times, it's tough to sort through it all, every day.

 

That's a lot of spam! It's like the restaurant only serves Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Baked Beans, and Spam, and we asked for Spam in place of the Baked Beans.

So in honor of all that spam, here are some samples, of the ones that aren't complete x-rated, or all in Russian, from my spam folder:

From adidas superstar 35th anniversary run dmc: Hey! This is my 1st comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and say I truly enjoy reading your posts. Can you suggest any other blogs/websites/forums that go over the same subjects? Thanks a lot!  - shame your first comment here went directly into the spam folder. You kind of ruin your chances of not going there being so spammy, and all.

 

Most of the spam posts are repetitive stuff, as you can see. A lot of user names blasting sports apparel, on the non x-rated side. A lot of spam marketing written poorly. It's all as spammy as it gets, and then all the Russian, Bulgarian, and Asian language...  they make it easy.

If you run a website, make sure you have adequate protection from these spammers. Don't let them fill your blog comments with malicious adds, and sports apparel names. Don't frustrate yourself sorting through the hordes of spammers to remove their traces manually. If you have questions on how you can reduce or prevent spam, start the conversation here, or send me a message through my contact form. I will gladly explore options with you!

  1. I can commiserate. Since I’ve ported my blog to wordpress, I’m starting to live in the land of SPAM-A-LOT also. It’s so frustrating! I especially like the online poker bot spam, they’re hot for my blog ATM! LOL *insert eyeroll :p

    1. Totally. I get those a lot too. My current list of 313 comments sitting my my spam folder are heavy on the porn, and male enhancement drugs.

      And then there’s your comment. Actually NOT in my spam folder! A golden beacon, practically the uncatchable snitch, in a world of bludgers! Thank you for your input. 🙂

      Can I suggest that you Install Akismet plugin, and Shield security for WordPress. They will help greatly with spam filtering, if you haven’t installed them already.

  2. As a 6-month update to this, my counters are now up to 16,220 blocked malicious login attempts, and 45,835 blocked spam comments.

    Hopefully this doesn’t become another one….
