Spam [Greg Laden's Blog]
… And I don’t mean the good kind.
A feature of WordPress blogging software is that you can turn off commenting on old posts, older than a specified number of days. I don’t like doing that because some of the most interesting comments trickle in on some of those old posts. Like this one.
But, for some reason, old posts are spam magnets, and I’m not talking about the canned meat. I opened up commenting on old posts a while back, and suddenly the spam is rushing like Atlantic Seawater in a New York Subway. So, I’ve re-closed comments on those old posts.
In the mean time, I deleted a LOT of spam. The spam filter was not catching it. If you are a real person and you think a comment of yours got deleted by accident, let me know.
Thank you very much, that is all.
