Notice

I’m going to upgrade this site so it may be a tad wonky for a little while.

I’ve saved this page in static format so it should work but some of the links may have problems. Since all of the posts are on the front page, if you are looking for payment buttons or service info, just scroll down.

[update] Back to normal, though there are a few things on the design that still need tweaking.

Clean your comments, sir or ma’am?

I’ve got a WP client who I have admin access to and had left my own email address in the admin section. So, needless to say, I get the moderation queue notifications. Recently, that blog has been getting postively harrassed by permutations on one theme. They all go to something-top-pharmacy (dot net), and I’ve seen hundreds of permutations of it. It was this particular client who inspired me to go and change the moderation.php to make it check ‘delete’ by default, instead of ‘do nothing’. I got tired of clicking.

So, I did a search for this bottom-feeding-scum-pharmacy along with the term “comment spam” to see if anyone had gotten tired enough of them to come up with some sort of block (from the site, not just via a blacklist or moderation queue). Didn’t find any, but boy did I find blogs, mostly MT blogs, with lots and lots and lots of comment spam they’d never gotten rid of.

So, I’m offering a new service. Call it “blog cleaning lady, if you will". If you have a blog with spam problems, or know someone who does, please read on. And if you like the idea, please link, so I don’t get tempted to start spamming blogs with ‘remove your spam’ offers. :P
