Comments on: Spambot of the day https://thenewneo.com/2016/04/07/spambot-of-the-day-115/ A blog about political change, among other things Fri, 08 Apr 2016 19:26:18 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.1 By: jack https://thenewneo.com/2016/04/07/spambot-of-the-day-115/#comment-1063267 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 19:26:18 +0000 http://neoneocon.com/?p=58488#comment-1063267 It used to be if you had a smiley face … you knew it was a real person but now the bots have that too.

I get hundreds of spam comments and they seem to hit the same post. This makes it easy to go into database … tick them all and with click … deleted.

But kinda like putting ant poison out … no matter how often you do they still come back.

Spambots are generally incoherent, since English is not their first language (and many are apparently computer-generated). Let’s not hurt their feelings too badly, though.

“You’re making me jealous. You wouldn’t like me when I’m jealous.” You’ll be green with jealousy?
Precisely. Green and YUUUGE.

You’re making me jealous. You wouldn’t like me when I’m jealous.

_____________
Me?
Guilty. I generally design my remarks to appear as if “like written by brain dead individuals”.
Why?
Because that is “generally” what I perceive is the standard/norm for those who are “searching and wound up” (speaking of which, I sure do miss those “wound up” toys; no batteries necessary and built to endure a lot of abuse).
___
Frankly, this is a site which appears pretty much “brain healthy” and worthy of checking in on. And given the crush I have on neo-neocon, I could hardly stay away for too long.
Thanks for the question.

Oops! I haven’t a clue.

When I click on the RSS feed at the bottom of the page, all I get is an error page. Also, when I click on the “Valid XHTML” link, it shows that your feed is full of errors, which I suppose is the reason it’s not available.
