Does it ever end?

Saturday, January 24th, 2004

Hehe… Yeah, that was a rhetorical question. But it’s sorta fitting. I am the master at going to do one thing and finding 5 other things that need to be done. :) Call it the reason I have a to do list. Anyway, I went to read Rachel’s site and noticed that she had this person on the top of her comment leaders list that shouldn’t be there. Gotta love the comment spammers out there! So I start going through her comments and deleting comment spam. While I’m at it, I decide to delete some trackback spam she’s had for a while. There is no way to track which entry you got a ping for except via the email that MT sends you telling you that you’ve been pinged. If there is a way to track it, I couldn’t find it. Anyway, that’s not my point. My point is that I went through the entire site and removed close to 200 comments/trackbacks. There are still some there that are sorta questionable, but they aren’t out right spam, so I’ll leave them for her to go through later. I think that comment spammers are so annoying. It would be nice if they would at least be a little original about it. Don’t they know that we will delete them thus defeating the entire point to what they were doing anyhow? They aren’t going to go up in the google ratings enough to make it worth their while. Some people are just irritating.

I’ve got more things to do in the web world beyond just deleting spam. Guess I should hop to some of that stuff sometime. :) Hopefully I won’t have delete more comment spam on my list any time soon.

Btw, I got the skins done! Woot! :D
