Spammers are so crafty it's criminal. I got a comment like this today:

"Nothing better than getting what you want from a post, kudos to you for this"

Now from the looks of this, it's harmless, but it's not - this is a spammers attempt to get me to approve this comment, thereby accepting his email and IP as OK. Once I do this, he can send as many comments to my blog effectively spamming my blog and writing all over it, adding links to stupid Viagra and miracle dieting treatments.

How do I know this comment is dodgy? Well, at around the same time I received 4 more that praise the site for it's useful 'resources' and 'content' - all generic terms, the type of comment you could send to any site and it wouldn't be out of place - signature slammer type comment. Secondly, the comment was about a post that was not even interesting to a robot.

I hate spammers. I think we should take them and pull each hair from their legs!
