Blog Spam
Is it only me or are other bloggers here on DotNetJunkies facing feedback with advertisements for casinos and little blue pills? Its getting very annoying. Thankfully the emailing feature here which informs us about posts works fine, else I would find the site rife with spam.
Is there no end to this menace? Should we look at implementing feedback control posts watching for iillegal words or is that feature already available or, still, would it make it difficult for genuine feedback?
Update: No sooner had I posted this than I found Scott Hanselmann's post dealing with a dasbBlog solution to help rid blogs of spam. Dont know if .Text has this included, but it would be a worthwhile addition to the code base.
Update-2 : Now I've also found something from Stefano Demiliani on the subject. Good to see that some momentum is building around possible solutions to this menace.
