Stupid comment spam
I just a got a piece of comment spam. The pace has been picking up, though the Dojo party and poker post is still the hands down winner, with about 16 a month, ongoing.
Mostly they are on older posts (more than a year) and it's not more than three or four a week (except for that one post, which gets them in batches of 4-8 every so often. I don't know what trigger words I had in it).
But I got one today which had the usual "Banner of interest" lead, and then said, "click here".
But there was no link, no verbiage at all, just the text, "MESSAGE".
Go figure.

I mean, really, I don't care how old they are... if they can't properly fill out a spam template obviously grabbed from someone more competent, they're a script kiddie.
