You like me, you really like me! – Sally Field

When I’m feeling down and I need a good chuckle, I like to periodically parachute into the spam community and observe what they’re saying. Of course, since it’s universally known that all bloggers want to be liked and perceived as super smart, spammers “cleverly” try to exploit that opening:

Bravo guys and gals, right on! But jeeze-us, kant yuo git yore seplling wrgiht?

Spamspeak

I don’t get many comments on this blog, but I sure do get a lot of spam (my favorite college food!). WordPress.com has an effective spam-detecting plugin from Askimet that magically tags suspicious comments and allows me to be the final arbiter. Here are the latest cumulative spam stats from my blog dashboard:

“Ham” comments (451) are deemed legit by the plugin, missed spam (6) is commentary that made it through the filter which I tagged as spam, and false positives (8) are comments tagged as spam that I changed to “ham“. I usually automatically approve of Askimet’s decisions, but I do get a kick out of occasionally browsing the spammentary:

“Thats really very nice blog, I am impressed.i like it this blog keep it up thanks for post.”

“I actually loved this publish. You create about this subject particularly effectively. I in fact like your blog site and I will definetly bookmark it! Maintain up the super posts!”

“Wow! This can be 1 of the top blogs I’ve actually arrive throughout on this subject. Merely Magnificent”

“You got numerous positive points there. I made a search on the issue and found nearly all peoples will agree with your blog.”

“I?d choose to use some with the content material on my blog whether or not you don?t mind. Natually I?ll offer you a link on your net blog. Thanks for sharing.”

“You made some decent factors there. I appeared on the web for the problem and located most people will go along with along with your website.”
