BBC on Blog Spam
The BBC (found via Slashdot) tackles block spam.
I feel quite upset by this, and angrier with the spammers and their lack of respect for the principles of online co-operation than I have been for years.
Which pretty much sums up how I feel about the issue. Various means of disguising outbound links from comments, so that the spammers don’t get the PageRank boost, have been discussed. But at the end of the day, I don’t care whether the spammer gets PageRank or not. I don’t want my personal blog polluted with spam, I just don’t want this crap on my blog at all!
