Expired Meat stinks

I'm not sure that it will do any good, but I like the way this guy thinks and I'm glad he's gotten others on board.

Comment Spam Manifesto :: Kalsey Consulting Group

Spammers are hereby put on notice. Your comments are not welcome. If the purpose behind your comment is to advertise yourself, your Web site, or a product that you are affiliated with, that comment is spam and will not be tolerated.

I'm sick of spam, but mostly it's because it costs money to wade through it. Either for filters or for time spent. I currently get over 200 e-mails each and very day, maybe 30 are actually something I want to read. I'd love a free filter tool that does what I need, but so far I haven't found one. I used the free trial of InBoxer and I'm thinking of plunking down the money for it.

E-mail spam is one thing, but Comment Spam? That's worse than newsgroup spam. Not that many people read comments, all it does is waste space for a chance that someone will see that your annoying. Simply put, Comment Spam is asinine.

Thankfully, the folks that use MovableType are constantly working on keeping spam out of their comments. One of which is MT-Blacklist. Whatever your choice, whatever your blog software, fight back.
