I got hit with a bunch of comment spam. Not so unusual in itself. They refered to blogger pages that would redirect to a porn site. Now if I get spam from mySpaces or some other service, I try to report the abuse. Not so with blogger. I have to have a blogger account to write to them, and I can't use the "mark as questionable" part on the blogger page 'cause it redirects. *sigh* I understand why blogger to trying to have the masses mod it's own content, but it doesn't help me to contact them.

If anyone has a blogger account and feels like reporting the abuse for me, I'll send them the list of 1600 ish bad accounts.
Actually, I just got hit with a bunch too. I know, I write my own blog software, and I shouldn't get hit with this stuff, but I do. Anyway, I've written a few filters to stop people from posting stuff that they shouldn't post. I can usually clean it up with a few database queries, but it's annoying none the less. I think i'll have to step up what i'm blocking now, so that they can't post stuff that looks like links at all. Currently you can post a link, but it converts all the to < and >. So there's no actual links, but they post anyway.
ReplyDeleteThat should be, converts all the > and < to > and <
