“Anybody know how we get an RSS feed for this blog?”
That was a comment left on a post just a few hours ago. Don’t look for it, though. It’s been nuked because it was spam.
How did I know it was spam? It sounds good, doesn’t it? And it was left on a post about RSS.
Well, here are a few things that tipped me off:
- Lack of a real name
While that alone isn’t enough to indicate a spammer, it’s one clue. Especially when the name is the name of a popular medication that lots of people would like to get without a prescription. D’oh! But sometimes, as in this case, it’s not quite that obvious, so I wouldn’t nuke a comment based just on not having a real person’s name.
- Links to a dubious looking web site (more…)
