Spam – more than just canned ham

I often get annoyed when I am done commenting on a post I am then told you need to register. It saddens me to have to impose that tactic on my sites. The world shouldn’t have to work this way, unfortunately it needs to. People who write spam software are the worst of the worst. They are the trashy people that make beautiful parks a place where you don’t want your children to go to. They are like those thugs that cripple the inner city and cause people to further withdraw from their surroundings. They are those people that would go into a “Christian Youth” chat room and constantly type, “I love Satan.” This handful of people pollute the Internet and forces us to constantly adapt to fend them off. While they are continuously finding new and clever ways to bypass spam filters we find that a large amount of our time and funding is spent on repelling these Internet mosquitoes.

I am taking a new approach. I am collecting IP addresses, monitoring key words, studying how this web trash does what they do, and I am going to go after them. Even if I can only reach a small number of those responsible for that, spammers are here by on noticed, that starting sometime soon the hunt will be on and they will not be safe. I intend to target them personally and on a very personal level. This will be the last warning. The time my be tomorrow or two years from now.

I know reading this post are not responsible. Spammers never read the area in which they target. It is software without guidance or a conscious. I do hope those reading this join the fight in tracking down those responsible for this and perhaps together we can put an end to this virtual abuse.
