We left comment spam behind, anyone else misbehaving? December 31st

So we’ve been dealing with comment spam as a whole in the previous post. Weblog comments brute forced into a blog by scripts and machines, without a doubt purely annoying and evil. But as I said, it’s been dealt with.

However, there’s apparently weblogs out there suffering from annoying human comment spam, either annoying other commenters or the weblog author himself. And yes, we’re talking about weblogs with more comments being posted than what we have here \*cough\*

In response to this new comment spam phenomenon, Greg Storey at Airbag Industries setup a “twelve step program for becoming a better commenter”. A lovely read. And so true..

Welcome to the Airbag Asshat Support Group, a twelve step program for becoming a better commenter. This is a new beginning for some of you and an ongoing process for others. Before we get started … has everyone had some cookies and punch? Good. Let’s roll.
