Spam

July 23rd, 2006 · Posted by Skuds in Technology · 4 Comments · Technology

I actually found a real comment from a real person in the Akismet spam queue today.

Very lucky to spot it really. Some days there can be 100+ spam comments caught by Akismet and usually I just delete them all as its too much trouble to read so much junk.

Can you guess which comment Akismet thought was spam?

    Was it one by Jane?

    No it was the one from “TechniCool – Sydney” with a homepage URI of gay-news.blogspot.com

    Does Akismet suspect that links to gay sites are spam? Could be a problem for anyone whose own site deals with gay issues a lot.

    By the way, that was Jane the sister (ie Skuds’ Sister from the blog title) and not Jayne the wife.

    Now that’s just confusing.
