Other Than Needing A Better Spam Filter, This Is The Next Best Thing.

Wetwired Time Saturday, July 4th, 2009 at 7:58 am by Finley

Okay, so lately we’ve been getting more spam comments coming into Wetwired. Most are filtered out. However, we’ve had some that are created as legitimate comments but then have websites linked or “personal agenda” messages that have no relevance to the article.

Naturally, this annoys the everliving fuck out of us.

However, rather than deleting good comments from asshole spammers I’ve decided I shall take a new approach. I will take an approach that, at least for me, is more… fun.

Take a look over to the right, in the comments field. When you see a comment with the name of “Spammer Commenter,” you’ll know it’s from someone that we felt was promoting an product other than a simple comment upon the issue. If you see “Dubious Assbag,” it will be from someone who didn’t leave a spam comment per se, but instead left an agenda comment of sorts. A good example of this happens any time we post a political article and someone chimes in with a comment that has nothing to do with the subject in question. They’re not a spammer, but they are most likely an assbag.

So, that’s that. Let me know what you think. Oh, and one fnal note- we are an equal opportunity mocking site, and as such it doesn’t matter which side of the aisle you come from- if you’re an assbag, we’ll note it.

Out.




“The Dark Knight” Review, and Why Myspace Sucks Even More.

Wetwired Time Sunday, July 20th, 2008 at 11:06 pm by Finley

- Yes, we’ll be reviewing the movie.

No, not tonight- Pylorns still hasn’t seen it because he wussed out on seeing it this weekend.

The short version of the review is- believe the hype. It is that good.

- So, Myspace is getting hit by spammers/spyware douchebags.

See, it seems that people are creating myspace profiles then adding these pictures to them that would make the average unsuspecting IE user think they have to install a Windows update.

This would be great… if I weren’t using Firefox in Leopard. Naturally, I picked up on the ruse.

Fucking spammer douchebags. See, I know- I KNOW- I’ll have to fix this on my dad’s computer at some point since his family can’t figure out not to click on every damn popup that comes along. That’s going to be fun to fix- AGAIN.

Out.




I’m Getting Sick of This Spam Shit.

Wetwired Time Sunday, May 7th, 2006 at 12:39 am by Finley

So, I get home after being out with Py and his father today. We went up to the Scarborough Faire south of Dallas, and had a good time. I go to the Wetwired Moveable Type site, to check for any additional comments and such.

There were, in fact 29 additional comments posted since this morning. Every single one of them was a spam posting. Every one of them was deleted.

Fuck this. I’m sick of the whole “bigger penis/Phentermine/calling card/cheap prescription drugs and boner pills/fake Rolex” crap. The thing that makes cleaning out this crap worse is that you know- you KNOW- the scumbags that put this shit out there do it because some clueless jagoff out there actually CLICKS ON THEM.

Shit like this makes me want to go Jeremiah Johnson on the World Wide Web and say “fuck it all” to the Internet. It just pisses me off.

Out.
