That’s good stuff, Ned, and I think I’ve seen one like that myself. The moron who bought that one most certainly doesn’t understand English well, or else is mroe than a moron. lol

Based on the poor English of many of these, if they are paying for a script, they are wasting their money.

Here is my favorite spam that I have received. This is almost funny.
>Yooo..

I kno it has nothing to do with what you wrote, but have you ever heard of (link removed). They seems to promise free ringtones

PS. Dont be an ass, this is NOT spam <

I love the last part, Like I’m going to think OK your right I won’t delete this.

Oh yeah Sire, that’s exactly what I think it is. However, they get to try to come up with some of their own words here and there.

Anyway,I reckon some of these spammers don’t actually come up with the script, that they pay for it and then use it to promote themselves.

Same here, Ned. And it’s funny because you’d think they would know better than to just jump between blogs that actually already seem to have some kind of relationship with each other.

True that, Sire, which is why we need to stay diligent in getting rid of the stuff. I’m so glad Askimet is here to help.

>I’ve noticed some generic comments that are identical . . .

Yea I notice some identical comments on different blogs. That is one thing that clues me in to the fact they are a true spammer.

That’s when I think it’s software doing it, Sire. And that’s why it ends up being easy to spot; they just can’t help posting to more than one article.

I’ve noticed some generic comments that are identical on different posts, as if they just paste it in to save time.

Almir, every one of those is spam, plain and simple. Don’t get fooled by any of it.

It’s a bad move, Almir, because once you allow one piece of spam, you might as well allow all of it. Spam is never relevant to the topic; you just lead yourself to believe it is.
