There’s a spammer out there who has a porn site. The thing is, he’s got this brilliant spam technique, where he leaves film star comments. His search engine finds references to certain movie stars, and then the spam is a note with an apparently meaningful comment about that star. So when I review a movie with Meryl Streep, I’ll get a remark about how great she was in The Devil Wears Prada.
When I look at my moderated comments folder, I can scroll quickly past most spam, because most of it is full of links, and has no plain text. But this guy’s porn links are only in his name, and his comments seem sensible. If you don’t pay attention, they get through.
…but if you click the name at work, BAM firewall. Tres embarrassing. So I moderate the name.
