No, I'm not talking about meat loaf.
Spam bloggers. Those who spam our commnets section.
Well, one can only hate them...or not.
If your a blogger or a webmaster or a high PR site, then form time to time, you will see a lot of posts coming from a very resourceful sploggers filling your comment filters.
Because of these unsolicited, unwanted comments, everyone has become paranoid. It's like living in a house with high gates and closed doors with built-in peepholes, visitors has to knock to be admitted! Unfriendly neighborhood, eh?
Recently, I have my share of spam comments coming my way, too! have already put my comment filter to "moderated", meaning I have to approve people's thoughts to be posted or not. I hate them, because now I have to verify first the intentions of my commenter, are they legit, are they spams, do they mean what they say? I mean, it makes me lose faith! I'm sure a lot of commenters (the true ones) get slightly irritated if they are required to put in CAPTCHA before being posted. I know, because I comment, too on various posts that I find interesting.
But what constitutes a spam comment? From my experience:
But don't you feel a tweak of fun when you wade through your spam filter? I have found several lame comments to ridiculous and totally unrelated to downright unintelligible. See some of them minus the irritating links below:
Are there more ways to filter them or to eradicate them altogether , other than putting my blog/website under comment moderation mode, that a noob blogger like me can do?

When you're at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soulYour faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesn't pass
Nothing's ever built to last
You're in ruinsOne, 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog. ~~~ Mark Twain
Just a random thought...
Fans of blood sports, take this to heart! To be sure, one of your lolos, or grandparents or uncles is familiar to the long tradition of blood sports involving animals from spiders to horses here in the Philippines. Cock fighting is perfectly legal and is in fact a cherished cultural institution. I heard some groups want to legalize spider fights. Betting in these activities run into the millions of pesos per event. I read somewhere that there has been a dog fighting ring (already busted?) years ago somewhere in Antipolo, Rizal.
"Sec. 6. It shall be unlawful for any person to torture any animal, to neglect to provide adequate care, sustenance or shelter, or maltreat any animal or to subject any dog or horse to dogfights or horsefights, kill or cause or procure to be tortured or deprived of adequate care, sustenance or shelter, or maltreat or use the same in research or experiments not expressly authorized by the Committee on Animal Welfare."
Another (totally unrelated) random thought...
I just saw on TV the other night how the rich pamper their litlle poochies, how they dress them up like toy acessories or blings. Heartless.
Maybe it's just me.

At first, it was just out of curiosity. I was intrigued that blogging could create an online persona and make someone's presence felt on the web! I thought that I can be true yet hide in the cloak of cyber anonymity. I can rant, say anything I want, shout my angst to the world without giving myself too much.
What a fun way to walk and discover new friends! See you all there!
