Spam and blogs

You all know about email spam, but many of you won’t know that blogs are prime targets for spammers. Not just sex ads like the majority of email spams, but anything you can imagine, from travel agents to magazine sales. The only thing that keeps me relatively sane is a WordPress plugin called Spam Karma 2. What would life be like without it? Well, in the past 24 hours, Spam Karma has caught 887 phoney posts!!! Obviously if I had to deal with that manually, this blog would have been closed a long time ago. In my perfect world there would be a minimum 2 year jail term for spammers and taggers…
