Hello, nice site look this:
For the third fourth time now, I’ve had to moderate a comment from some spammer trying to post on a recent post, Transparency on the Internet.
And, I quote:

What follows is a long list of links that don’t even work. Of course, I’m just marking the comment as spam each time who- or whatever sends it, but it’s really, really annoying. I’ve heard some meathead proposals that the government start charging for sending email to help combat spam, but that violates the spirit of the internet, and is also irrelevant to this situation. Essentially, this is like some marketeer trying to place an advert in my own home, against my will. But what else can I do other than moderate incoming posts? It’s a sad world.

Dude, I’ve had this happen over and over and over again, but it’s always someone trying to sell me cheap Hydrocodone, Phentermine, and Xanax. I had to turn comments off on the post. That should work for you too.

thats a good call, I think that I will do the same.

You’ll eventually start getting spam on every post. I haven’t figured anything out… disabling comments goes against the spirit of the internet too. Sucks.

though the good thing about those posts (at least for me) is that they aren’t getting posted as comments as of yet. Greed seems to ruin a lot of good things.
