Bloody Spammers Again

I’m suddenly getting a torrent of spam in the pingbacks. In an attempt to keep them at bay I have reintroduced Askimet on top of reCaptcha. Sorry if this results in some comments being held up in moderation – I’ll get to them when I can – it’s surely preferable to 40 links to casinos/drugs/porn.

Also found a couple of comments caught up in Askimet from months ago despite me switching it off. Hmm. Apologies to those who were unnecessarily censored.

Fight back against spam

Recently I’ve received a couple of emails from a lovely lady called Barbara Couley.

I visited your site and contents of your site http://badchemist.net/c got my attention. I am interested in purchasing Text links advertisement on it.
If you are interested please inform me.
I can make an attractive offer.
Thanks,

Hi,

I sent you an email few days back, I am interested in purchasing text link advertisment place on your website http://badchemist.net/. Let me know if interested so we can discuss further details as well. I can make a good offer to make it worth your time.

Let me know!
Thanks
Barbara

This pisses me off, I don’t want advertising on my site, never have and never will. The only chance of it happening are if this site suddenly becomes extremely popular and I can’t afford to upgrade or my webhost will cut me off i.e. a last resort. More annoying my email address is only available as an image on this site to reduce spammers by making it harder to get it automatically.

I would suggest that everyone sends one to her (barbaracouley@gmail.com), but that might result in us all getting even more spam back. If anyone else gets this pain in the arse contacting them, I feel your pain, just ignore the twunt.
