Just two weeks ago I discovered that I had over 80,000 comments on my blog. The vast majority of them were spam. I know, I'm pretty facinating. This is true. But I am not that facinating. Heh.
So, I have been deleting the spam. I can occasionally delete a couple hundred at a single time, but I have not found a way to delete too many more than that without freezing the computer. Yay.
So, as of this moment, I have 36,678 comments. I have been slowly closing old entries so that I receive no more comments. And, as some have discovered, i am moderating all comments before they come in. I am still deleting 200 or or more spam requests. But I assume this number will drop off as I close more entries.
So, if you are poking through old entries and find comments from texas hold'em sites and other "adult entertainment," please know that I am slowly but surely making my way through them. It just takes time.
And, if anyone knows a quick and dirty way to do this, please let me know. Gracias!
I am at home today...the temp gig sent us away early yesterday and asked us not to come in today. My hours will be diminished quite a bit. I think I may have to ask for another placement. With the apartment building under new ownership, we are moving. This costs money. I need a more stable income. We'll see.
Pax hominibus and all that, y'all.
Posted by tripp at April 26, 2006 08:42 AMsorry about the fewer hours, dude.
if you are free monday afternoonish, and are in the mood for manual labor, we could use some help with our move.
also, if you want to diminish spam, don't use the words "quick" and "dirty" in a post ;-)
Peace

Ah, such insight. Those two words might attract some unwanted activity indeed. Heh.
I'll let you know about Monday.
