Just a little rant from my end after going through my blog comment spam list…

I am so sick and tired of automated bots slamming my blog TRYING to get their bogus comments in the promote their sites. I mean seriously, unless you’re an idiot and just auto-approve all comments (in which case you should be flogged repeatedly and be cut off by your ISP), who would approve obvious spam comments?

For any of you that are still manually flagging WordPress comments, you can get Akismet for free for personal use (if you’re running a business blog, be honest and just pay for the software). If you look to the right side of my page, you’ll see the number of comments automatically marked as spam since I installed it on September 9th, 2010.

Unfortunately it makes me realize how unpopular my blog is since 99% of my comments are spam, lol.
