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.
