Media Misrepresentation
There's a new threat facing bloggers these days.No, it's not the sedition charges or defamatory comments that could arise out of blogs which would potentially see bloggers being fined and jailed here (so much for civil liberty... ok better not talk too much in case I kenna).
Rather, I'm talking about comment spam - unwanted comments that get put there by special software.
For example -
"What a great site you have here, I bookmarked it!I have a penile enlargements related info site. It covers penile enlargements related information.Check it out when you can. ;)
By 7472, at 4:21 PM "
The joy of seeing 3 comments on a blog entry, then clicking to find out that one's on gay dating, another on penile enlargement, and the last one's on drugs or forex global trading or some crap like that.
Rubbish.
Thus, I urge all bloggers to turn on word verification for comments to prevent comment spam.
And for all you comment spammers out there, you ought to feel ashamed, preying on innocent bloggers out there.
Two words - Bugger off!
