Does Anyone Else Get Depressed Reading Their Comment Spam?
Wednesday, June 13th, 2007I have this awesome Wordpress plugin called Akismet that helps trap a lot of comment spam on this site. However, I noticed that occasionally a real (non-spammy) comment gets trapped in the Akismet queue, so every so often I have to scroll through the list of trapped comment spam to make sure no real comments were filtered out.
This process always brings my mood down a notch. The lists of spammy keywords that these horrible people produce is some of the most vile, horrible, disgusting stuff ever. Descriptions of terrible people doing terrible things to anything from animals to children. It makes me sad that there is apparently a market for this garbage out there. So gross.
I gotta go watch some cartoons as a psychic palette cleanser.
