While developing and testing our new Anti-Splog plugin on Edublogs we have been making a lot of sploggers very unhappy. A nifty feature of the Anti-Splog plugin is that when you mark a blog as spam instead of that boring white warning screen showing when you visit the splog you get a pretty, branded notification with a review screen.
Just in case you accidentally spam a valid blog, the user gets one chance to ask for you the admin to review the blog. It sends an email notification with a link that will take you to Anti-Splog where you can see their latest posts and get an instant preview of the entire blog without having to unspam it.
When we first created this form, the spammers had the audacity to actually spam us more through the review form, so we threw a reCAPTCHA on it which has stopped that. Though what it hasn’t stopped is comments from some angry (and dumb) spammers, with very comical results! We thought you might enjoy a few laughs along with us.
Let’s start with the angry ones:

And the saddest one of all:

Ah…I’m a employee, it’s my job. I just do what I want to do like you. In my opinion, every person has his survival to make money ways, my job is send post, i like the job, the post most articles are written by the professionals, maybe in the past, i post some spam post, but i realised it and changed. Blogs opens to people are just let people write. Hope you give me the chance. God bless you.
Conclusion
We hope you had a laugh along with us! Are you ready to make some sploggers mad yourself? You can read about the features of Anti-Splog here, and download the plugin here.
[Applause] Thank you Aaron, made my Monday morning. BG
ha! these are funny!
This has been one of the best parts of us building Anti splog… it’s incredible how many of these blogs are maintained by real people too!
Thanks for doing this – the web is a better place (and thank to this post, funnier).
It’s pretty sad how our naive idealism for a free and open internet leads to people like this crufting it up.
It’s simple really. If you are advertising something that has something to do with the post you are commenting on, that’s not really spam. But if you just send a line of text that means nothing and your link has nothing to do with it, that is spam. Simple.
By the way, check out my male enhancement site at http://www……. nah, only joking ;)
Dang site owner you have got lots of odd bugs on your page that says parse error unexpected T String in line 18
Hilarious!
This is priceless! I can’t believe how “mindless zombies” these people have become. I’m not racist or anything, but my experience tells me that most of those people you quoted there are Indians. I worked with them before..
hehe, that’s a long list.. some of them actually do not relate to the ‘spam’ category, but others do.
this helps make good sense
