Fandango’s Spam Comment of the Week: Week 4 2023
Just a few that have passed through the spam filter. The reduction in spam is good but also disappointing as I do enjoy sharing the spam I am getting with you. Again no p0rn this week for you.
1 First off is Rooppendra Kumar I call him Mr Persistent as I have blocked but he still reappeared.
This time on “Going Back to Italy”. His message, just a website which I am not going to display but it leads to an Amazon for sale page
Thanks but I can buy crap like that locally.
2 Here is Qwerty who used “Time to rap at the birdbath” post to give me advice
The comment “Habits a way of success” and included his web site – again not included. A lot of the replies to comments on his site were “Yeah, sure”
I am sure that’s not a habit for success.
3 Bring on FloydTow commenting on my post “Delicate and small” with a link in Russian
аренда яхт в турции мармарис european yachts (weblink removed)
If I need an European yacht I know who to contact.
4 Just in case I need Swedish telephone directory Georgesor sent me a link on my “Coming at you” post.
sweden virtual phone numbers – continent telecom (weblink removed)
5 Another persistent one was VAPECANS SHOP, who has featured here before in past spam posts, with all sorts of stuff in a long comment for sale in around FIFTY web site links.
I can buy golf carts, go-karts, even around twenty types of Glock guns, plus cookies, pies, runtz? and baby jeeters?
If you need a baby jeeter, just give me a shout and I’ll send the web link to you
Wow, you get more than your share! I get this kind of stuff as emails telling me they took $$ out of my account for some random purchase. It’s all click bait 😖

I can handle a few a week for my amusement. Until I stopped comments over 31 days, the spam has dropped from 20 to 30 a day to a couple a week. They are all click bait but I don’t get the money scams, perhaps they know I am poor.

I stopped comments after 30 days too. My blog got hammered with spam. I had ro remove all comments from my about me page where at one point, I got 50 per day, all in Spanish selling viagra. 🤣

That is strange that I no longer get the viagra sellers or sexy women wanting me. I must be getting too old.
I have been doing the photo reduction on my site but the numbers don’t seem to change from the 92.8% as I go. When I look at the posts they come from, the photos still are large.
I don’t want to resize the photos on the posts as just resizing is a long process.
I am not sure whether this is a worthwhile process now

How strange. I gained a whole MB just fixing 50. Make sure when the image is saved it shows KB. Each time I hop into the media file, I manage to reduce a few. Are you using classic editor within the media file? It literally takes seconds.
LikeLiked by 1 person
Yes I am using classic. I have only done around 100 photos I do check the KB’s. I am reducing to 640X480 pixels which takes them to around 70kb.
It doesn’t take long individually but I am doing a “page at a time. which makes it easy to remember where I am up to

I’m sure you know what you’re doing. Wonder why we get different results? Sounds like you have a good system in place. Then other day I reduced the size of one that was 14 MB! 😳

Well Brian–I might be interested in purchasing golf carts, Glocks and cookies, but what’s a baby jeeter? Does it like cookies or pie? 😆
For a while there I was getting a lot of spam from car dealers. Now it’s people with weird names.

Hey, I got on from Qwerty this eek too, but I forget what it was about. Mostly I just delete without reading. I had to look up baby jeeters, some kind of cannabis I think.

Interesting to know somehow we are on the same spammers list together. Lois told me and it floored me to know you can buy weed over the mail.

Hello. Stumbled upon your site (and this post) as the same VAPECANS spammer paid my blog a visit. I do suggest reporting the Cameroonian for multiple counts — including spamming, peddling illegal and/or contraband items, and illegal sale of controlled substances.
Makes me wonder why WordPress doesn’t ban the idiot though. I guess the criminal is on a paid plan and WP wants a cut of the money? Aiding and abetting, that’s for sure.

Thanks. I don’t think that they would do much. I have blocked and reported as spam

I hope WP drops the banhammer on ’em for good. And a sprinkling of an Interpol crackdown for good measure!
