Wierd

I cleaned up a TON of spam comments today (I really need to figure out how to run MT Blacklist).

Spam comments are frequently distributed by searching for keywords in posts; presumably these keywords are associated with a likely audience for the ads.

Today I cleaned up about 40 "scat porn" comments from eight different posts.

The word they all had in common?

"Franken".

Do you honestly believe that isn't because some Franken-hater did this to annoy Franken fans? Admit it, buddy...you're just mad that you didn't think of it first. :-D

Franken and scat porn: two bad tastes that go great together.

I can help you with Blacklist, if you like. It's been a godsend!

The trick is: You add the spam URLs to the database.

But then - you have to DE-SPAM. This deletes the comments, and adds any internal URLs in the comments you might have missed.

Anyway - let me know if you need some help

Hey, Big Shot!

You spelled "weird" wong, dumbass ;-)

When do I get my jump starter back, Homer?

Ned.
