A Bowl of Stupid

As an aside, I've been getting inundated with spammer comments over the past 1-2 days — coincidentally, right when I haven't the time to do much of anything about it.

So, for the moment, I've had to take the somewhat draconian measure (in my mind, at least) of requiring everyone who wants to post a comment to register on this site. My apologies for the both of you out there who may wish to comment about the mindless ramblings emanating from this sucking chest-wound of a blog, but otherwise just don't feel like registering ("cough, cough - Votar, cough, cough*).

My further thanks to those whom instead may choose to register (thanks Lora!).

As soon as I get some time, I'll address the matter in what I hope will be a somewhat less radical fashion.

That is all. Carry on.

UPDATE: I think I've corrected much of the issues surrounding the spamming issues and, as such, I'm removing the aforementioned blocking "features."

TK, feel free to resume commenting … NOW.

Lately, I've been getting inundated with spam comments on this site. I'm not sure, maybe I should take it as a good sign that this site is gaining in popularity, therefore garnering the attention of the cock stains responsible for such spamming anarchy. However, I have taken the opposite approach - I'm beginning to hate these jackasses with every fiber of my being - which is saying something because I'm generally able to curb my anger fairly well.

I'm getting sick as hell of adjusting and re-adjusting my spam filters to block these mouth breathers from getting through to my comment section, and then still having to go through and delete them all by hand (seeing as how my time is so precious these days).

Regardless, in a vein attempt at getting back at them, I'm at least going to post something about the most prolific of these assholes. Yes, I know this is the literary equivalent to hoping to cure cancer by complaining about the evils of cigarette companies (ahem), but I feel the need to vent. And also, I'm Jewish and that's just what we do - complain (well that and destroy entire civilizations, of course).

The latest of these attacks has come from one particularly relentless troll who goes by the name "IeriWinner_62". This jackass puts its links to Google, and promotes it’s blog as Google, using the same message:

HI! I’ve have similar topic at my blog! Please check it..
Thanks.

Crime: Gross stupidity and pointlessness.

Punishment: Delete on sight, better still - mark as SPAM if you have Akismet.

A special thanks to Trollbuster for confirming this one for me. If anyone else is being confronted with questionable commentators, I highly recommend you also check out Trollbuster for confirmation and/or advise.
