Spam.. eeww



My directory just got spammed.  The weird thing about it is that I really can’t figure out what they are trying to do.  This dude has about 8 blogs, all of which only have 1 post on each blog, and they are all focusing on the word “sutherland”.   The posts themselves seem random and badly written.  It’s just weird.. any ideas folks?

      My God, and the biggest spam is here in the comments of this post. This person with name “venerka” when I clicked on [comment posted on 15th March 2008], took me to a Antivirus download page forcefully and I really had to shut down my Firefox. Please delete that comment, many might be clicking that comment. I am surprised to see this comment approved. Either you missed it or you are seriously overloaded. Do you need my help?

      I’ve deleted the comment by “Veneka”.. thanks for the alert folks!

      Also - the spam is not comment spam on the blog.. it’s submission spam to the directory. I’ve gotten used to it now.. as only around 2% of submissions actually comply to the guidelines!
