Comment Spam
Posted by massnerder on June 1, 2006
I woke up this morning to find I experienced my first comment spam. It took about a month for it to happen. I think I started this back on May 2nd. This is just a little 'nothing' blog so I don't expect to get that much comment spam. I can't imagine what the "A-list" bloggers have to deal with. For them, it's not just the spammers but the complete idiots that post absolutre drivel in the comments. Lies, personal attacks — all that friendly stuff.
The other thing I don't get is the need to be able to claim first comment. I see this all around on blogs and message boards. What's so special about having the first comment or reply — especially when the entire content of the post is a declaration of the order in which your comment/reply came? To me, people who do this look like big, fat idiots.
Congratulations: you've proven you have nothing better to do with your life than troll blogs and message boards for the latest post and are the quickest at typing out a reply. Bravo. Job well-done. I'm sure your parents are proud.
