You’d think by now I’d have had enough spam, but yet I read these and can’t help but laugh. USB rocket launcher… now that’s rich.

If spam is getting so sophisticated now, why canâ€™t they string a coherent sentence together or spell stuff correctly? Dicks.

Be thankful Rob. If these zombies had brains we might be in trouble.

I don’t know what my ratio is because I haven’t used Akismet for very long so I only have around 8500 captured so far.

As you may have guessed Jack I’m a lurker on this site (and most others too) and usually aim to flit around stealthily, minding my own business.

Regards spam and spammers, I hate spam and I hate the fuckers who are responsible for it… but if we didn’t have spam we wouldn’t get your brilliant Spam Reflections

Looks like I’ve got a ratio of 44:1 — 25,793 spam comments to 582 legitimate comments.

I’d definitely not mind shifting that ratio closer to 18:1!

I’ve got a 1:1 spam/comment ratio, but then I’ve only had 5 comments so far…
