We have
\n been hearing dire warnings for some time now, particularly from our friends
\n in the Thursday
\n Night Blogger’s Group<\/a>, about the looming disaster which
\n is Comment Spam.<\/p>\n
\n (side note: despite having multiple layers of protection, firewalls,
\n spam filters, University-wide spam killers, etc., we are still getting
\n more spam than real mail. To make matters worse, several crucial<\/em> messages
\n have been mistakenly filed as Junk, requiring at least once a day a complete
\n review of the Junk mailbox to see if anything important has been misfiled!)
\n Spammers are taking aim at our Blog’s unenDOWed comments section!<\/p>\n
\n by the sparcity of comments on Dowbrigade News; maybe Comments Spam would
\n at least make it LOOK like our readers cared enough to tell us how they
\n felt about our posts. We imagined a comments section full of pithy comments
\n on Penis Enlargers and Two-Day PhD Programs, invisible unless someone
\n actually tried to READ the comments…..<\/p>\n
\n bonafide example <\/a>of the phenomena we have seen,
\n and its not pretty. This comment was posted to the Berkman
\n Center<\/a> main blog site. Has anyone else been seeing these?<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
