Hubby just spent a huge amount of time finding and deleting bazillions of spam comments, and fixing it so I get email alerts on comments so spam can’t hide in old posts’ comments. What a PITA. I wish there were an easier way to make sure that big scary people beat down their doors at home and rip out all their electronic equipment and smash it with sledgehammers. Then tattoo “SPAMMER” on their foreheads. And cancel their credit cards and paypal accounts and whatever else they use to profit from their spam endeavors. Why? Because it was easy for the spammer to set up a ‘bot to make hundreds of spam comments in mere minutes, but it took us forever to get them out of here – deleting them from the site was ridiculous, and dasblog has comments in two files, both of which had to be edited. It took hubby a few false starts to find that out. 2 1\/2 hours of work, folks. Something needs to be done to stop these people. If they were calling us at home or sending stuff through the postal service, you can betcha this would have been nipped in the bud. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
