spammer also taking a break
I’m not sure if you notice about it or not, but there are lesser comment spams lately. My blog particularly, received less spams started last December, Alhamdulillah. Oh, what a wonderful world without spam. I believe they’re also taking a break and celebrating the festive and holiday season that had just finished. Do you know, that it is actually not easy to be a spammer, you have to buy or build a huge list of email, write a nice email to ‘help’ (or fool) people around and send hundreds of emails everyday. It must be a very tiring day huh??
Akismet & Spam Karma
Early December, Akismet seems like not filtering spams good enough, flooding my comment section with spams, and since I had enabled comment approval for first time commentators, my email is flooded with new comment notifications as well. It prompted me to enable back Spam Karma to assist Akismet, in their continuous and endless war against the evil spam. Thanks a lot to both of you for the hard work in protecting me from the evilness of spam, so I can blog peacefully. I appreciate your effort very much.
Email spam
I didn’t count the spam emails, since most of them directly goes into the spam folder. But I’m also seeing an increase of spammers from Malaysia, with Malay names, (Sorry I have to say that, shame on you!!) and of course in bahasa Malaysia. Does it mean that the internet marketing in Malaysia has reached to the new height? New height that you’d want regardless if it is halal or not. Do think of it over again and again before you press another send email button to anonymous receiver.
Happy new year, I hope you’d change
I would like to wish a happy new year 2008. May 2008 be a turning back from you being a spammer. Oh before that, dear Mr/Mrs/Ms or tuan/puan spammer, what is your new year resolution?
p/s: the picture is not related to the story. They’re not spammers, but i think they’re from spam.com
I chuckled about your post!
Maybe they are all off for the holidays. Everyone hates spammers. I encounter several on my blog as well. But they did lessen over the holidays. They may have been somewhere partying! lol
spam is better than virus..
happy weekends bro..
Askimet keeps on filtering the comments from some good guys on my blog. Do you have any idea how to prevent it from filtering certain username?
I feel sorry for those spammers. Having to work so hard. Heh! Well they’re back in full swing now. I wonder what their new year resolutions are?
hopefully it is something good or at least avoiding others from pissed off with them.
Hehehe, spam party!!
how about spam thru Yahoo Messenger, very annoying especially when it came from our local person.
Im add them as friend in case we can share our though someday, but they miss used it. I try to chat with them by saying Hi and asked for detail about them, they just ignore me and send me their latest blog..
im labeling that type of YM marketing is also spam when you’re not contribute nothing to the id.
Oh, I seldom using YM, I never know got this kind of spam also. Maybe the next time someone adding you, before accepting it, make sure they’re someone that you know. I think there is a function to block any message from them, right?
