And another thing...

(Marylou Retton, eat your heart out!)

There has been a surge of spamments lately. Oh, those are 'spam comments'.... spamments. I just made that up right now...can you tell? lol... I know it's dumb.

I like to reply to comments because I like to read what you have to say. Simple. If you take the time to reply, so should I. That's my current thought pattern anyway.

Due to an increase (everywhere it would seem) in spamments, rules have been altered.
  • If I do not know you or have not seen you on another blog, I will delete you if you have not left a comment showing that my post has been read. (Specifics folks, specifics! Not just 'Cool blog'; come visit me at.....)
  • Which brings me to the next thing. Unless you are not a blogger member, your name will become a direct link to your site in the comments. Please don't use me as an advertising site. I don't do it to others and expect that in return. Your comment will be deleted, unless of course I do know who you are then I will just silently wonder why you feel the need to duplicate the link.
  • While I believe in freedom of speech, not on my blog...lol. I was going to try to ignore the spamments but fuck it. Everything has been pissing me off so why give the little spammers with fake-ass sites the benefit of the doubt? This space is mine. Don't like being deleted? Then go elsewhere.
  • For the few that may be new to this blog and might have the bad luck to get deleted due to a general comment, I do apologize. I truly love hearing what everyone has to say and like to visit new blogs. If I delete you and it is unwarranted, I do apologize in advance.

So that's all for that. I just get irritated that my time and space, and your time and space gets sucked up by idiots. I love being able to flap my jaws (er, digits) here and find it to be a source of disappointment and aggravation to get spamments. Fucking spamments.

Well put!
Spamments must die...or at least be deleted!

John Holland said...

I left a post on your other earlier post and see it's gone...or maybe I screwed it up and didn't leave it, won't be the first time that happened, unless you consider me spamment?!

justrose said...

spamments! that rocks.

i don't know if i've ever gotten one. maybe i have and thought it was real? that would be typical of me.

Terri said...

"Spamments" - I LOVE it! Great word! Let's see how long it takes to make it into the Oxford English Dictionary. (After all, "Bootylicious" made it in!)

Shirley said...

I hate those spam comments too, and I seem to get a lot of them. Sometimes it's hard to tell a legitimate comment from spam. I don't mind if someone just says they like my site, and that's about it, but if it links to a site that's primarily selling something or in another language or has pop-ups, I'll delete quickly.

Shirley said...

Point 2, regarding your header, I LOVE Canadian bands! Especially Great Big Sea and The Rankin Family!

Cool blog. Visit me at www.helpmeImaspammer.com

Can you imagine? Poltergeist in cyberworld. I'd watch it, anyway. But yes, I'm... simple.

Fence said...

See now, spamments are an excellent topic for a rant? jic you need any help with a new subject.

I hate comment spam, luckily enough I use wordpress and have it up so that anyone who hasn't commented before has to have their comments moderated, it can be hassle, but much better than a hundred or so posts featuring winderful messages such as tgirl transexuals, casinos, mortgages and those innane "cool blog" spamments.

I also have my blacklist...

Motor - Although I prefer death, deletion is acceptable! =)

JohnH - Nooo. I'd not delete you! I'll have to look back now... you were there earlier. Besides, I know who you are silly!

Rose - Some of them can be kind of difficult to tell from a regular comment... until you visit 'their blog'. Knowing you, you'd invite them to the rowhouse for coffee. =)

Terri - Are you serious?! Bootyliciuos is in there?! Then I want to see spamments damn it! Feel free to use the word as you see fit.

Chicky - The thing that did it for me was getting 6 comments, one on each of the 6 previous posts all from these young girls within one minute of each other. All the blogs were less than a month old. Just irritates me. But Canadian bands on the other hand... WooHoo! I've been trying to convert others, too...lol.

Anne - That had me laughing so hard! Before you know it there will be a new reality show based on cyberspam...

Fence - Yes! Most of the blogs belonged to young girls who listed 'titties' as their interests. Eesh. So annoying. Seeing that I have next to no patience for stupidity, I may check out this Wordpress thing you spoke of. Oh, and 'you' also have a big gun...lol.

Greg - No lie; I never ate Spam. Not even for it's, uh, nutritional value. But now I have that MP Spam song stuck in my head! Aahh! If I had a dead parrot, I'd beat the spammers with it! =)

I had a spamment come to visit me the other day. We had us a right splendid time... downed a bottle of JD and watched Internet porn amongst other things.
However, he went too far when he remarked on the "size of my penis", so I drop-kicked him into the next universe.
He also mentioned that one of his mates could get me a University degree for free, but by then I was not listening anymore.
(PS: pardon the deletion... accidentally did it after I had posted)

Good for you...I don't blame you AT ALL!!!

Well, so far I guess I've been lucky...I haven't had any spamments yet. I did have someone once leave a VERY nasty comment about a picture I posted (of myself) so I decided to not let anyone post as an "anonymous" blogger so I changed it so "anonymous" bloggers couldn't comment on my blog anymore.

I figure "Hey, you want to comment, fine. But at least have enough balls to let me know who you are, you fucking coward."

Sorry...stuff like that burns my ass worse than any three foot flame could ever do...;)

Tom said...

I don't know if I ought to feel pleased that I don't get Spamments or depressed that I don't get any sort of comments.

(I'm not asking for visitors really)

I've been blogsurfing (just clicking the next blog tab and going where ever it leads. The spamment problem seems to be getting pretty bad for a lot of folks...just not for me

LiVEwiRe said...

Bean - hahaha... you goof! =) I don't mind this from you because it made me laugh! But I agree, folks should check out your sites!

Kyknoord - I would like you to contact Wikipedia. I think I'd like your definition best!

Transience - Hey there! See, I didn't even know about the bionic fence... *sigh*. I do, however, have a bionic delete button.

Chitty - If I go to your blog and leave booze soaked porn spamments will you invite me in? =) I promise I won't comment on the size of your penis either...lol. Well, unless you say please.

Stacy - What?! How could anyone make a nasty comment about you?! Did you send your "viscious" dogs after them...lol, uh, once they got up from their naps..? I 'll be taking out the 'Anon' thing too but some of these crafty bastards have fake blogs set up for the purpose. Frustrating.

Tom - Welcome! Too late... I already visited your site! It looks like alot of fun. Most comments are authentic, just like anything else, there is always someone that finds a way to screw it up. And spamments were born...

Heidi - You like 'spamments'? Lol... came up with it allll by myself! You should check out Tom's site (above)... I think you'd like it alot! As far as the Spam God... yeah, I go around pissing on people's shoes and never once did I realize it was the Spam God. Meh. As for your song... lol. I could so kill you - I'll be singing that for days! =) {It's raining..}

Geez, it's a spam, spam world. Though maybe it's because I like spam... eating it, that is. 'Round here, spam is a bit of a luxury item. Crazy, I know, but I just love eating it with wheat bread and mayo. Yum! (Sorry, had to mention it as it's lunchtime and reading your post made me hungry.)

Still, look at the bright side, LW. Maybe you're getting a lot of spam because you have a lot of visitors/comment-hits? Likewise, Blogger comments makes it easier to drop-kick spamments whereas Haloscan (which I use) seems impossible. *gulp!*

And didn't Microsoft just hit a spammer where it really hurts? Talk about the big bad done good. ;-)

Okay, I'll shut up now. :-D

LiVEwiRe said...

Banzai - Who is this commenter? Is this the one that laughed at my, uh, PMS 'situation'? Will I be forced to delete this?...lol. I've never tasted Spam once; then again, I am a bit of a wimp with certain foods. I have heard it's actually pretty tasty but I'll take your word. As far as the other spam... why can't HaloScan manage it? Either way, they are getting trickier as they make it appear as if it's a real blog. If you compare them, they are almost all identical and only about 6 weeks old. Pity.
