Freaky Frugalite

Weeeellll…. as much as I hate CAPTCHA for comments (I always find them difficult to decipher), I was forced to install it for my blogs today. For Blog Jog Day, I anticipated loads of comments! And I sure got them- 1,000 spam comments PER HOUR. On 11/21/10, I logged in to see the spam count [...]

I am so sick of the spam!!! Spam in my email, spam on my landline phone, spam on my cell phone, spam in my voicemail, spam in my blog comments!!! I checked in to my blog three days ago, after not having signed in for three days. My eyes nearly popped out when I saw [...]

If you have left a comment here somewhere, and it was never “approved” or “published,” I have to say- with hat in hand- that I may have deleted it. But not on purpose! THE SPAMMERS MADE ME DO IT! I have been clobbered with spam. Are fellow bloggers experiencing the same as I am this [...]

Well that was a wild week. I blogged about getting inundated with spam by a certain few IP addresses, and it got a little attention- looks like everybody who had WordPress blogs was getting clobbered! The IP keeps changing, of course. Earlier this week, it was 90.102.64.127 and then there were the .150 to .153 [...]

Holy cow. Am I really watching a spambot attack?! I am being slammed with comment spam on all my blogs- all of them. TONS and TONS of spam and they are all coming from the same IP or two: 94.102.60.151 or 94.102.60.152. And then there are probably more. It’s a IP I have traced to [...]

I’m so tired today. I’ve been tired for a few days. I’ve been working long hours on the blogs lately (coding, writing, and generating traffic), preparing the house for the winter heating season (still have to sew those new drapes), and still trying to hash through the hundreds of emails I get daily. I feel [...]

While dropping Entrecards, I visited the Matthias Chronicles. He has a new post, exposing spammers. What a great idea!!! Matthias posted the spammer’s ISP, phone number, address, and all sorts of information. Way to go, Matthias! I think it’s a great idea! Maybe we bloggers should have a Spam the Spammers Saturday or something. Then [...]

I have SEEN IT ALL, people, seen it all. You bloggers out there will know what I am talking about: spam. Not the canned sugary meat Spam, but the human garbage of type- spam as in JUNK messages. Thank God for the Akismet plugin, LOL! (Akismet is a little software program that detects spam comments [...]
