I have been filtering for the life of my 'blog, no spam comments have been allowed out of moderation, but the number made is often well over 100 in a day.<br /><br />There's little hope of a sufficient share of 'bloggers filtering appropriately, so that the cost-to-benefit ratio shifted against the spammers. And it seems that, into the indefinite future, a large share of computer users will continue to allow their machines to be hijacked.<br /><br />What medium-term hope remains is in administrators of intermediate machines spotting hijacked computers and cutting them off from the 'Net.<br /><br />(Meanwhile, BTW, Blogger.com treats all my comments as spam, and most of them are never fished-out of quarantine by respective 'bloggers.)Daniel [oeconomist.com]https://www.blogger.com/profile/06763094285750736837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066888134509330432.post-73771091164459548742012-02-12T19:13:13.704-05:002012-02-12T19:13:13.704-05:00I have been getting many of these numnut comments ...I have been getting many of these numnut comments all week.

Years back, administrating a gaming forum, we would often get hit with spamming bots. They looked like posts coming from new members, but were annoying links to adverts on the web.HEHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02329418761741982984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066888134509330432.post-48848508323794088582012-02-12T08:16:24.477-05:002012-02-12T08:16:24.477-05:00Happy birthday - mine's the 12th - same as Lin...Happy birthday - mine's the 12th - same as Lincoln - but I'm 15 years older than you are.

And the people ultimately behind it all are well aware that most 'bloggers don't want such comments.Daniel [oeconomist.com]https://www.blogger.com/profile/06763094285750736837noreply@blogger.com
