Spam Comment of the Week — Week 11 2023

Fandango14 Comments

I get some interesting spam comments on my blog, most of which are captured by Akismet, WordPress’ spam blocker. I generally do a mass delete of all of my spam comments after checking to see if any legitimate comments got caught up in Akismet’s spam-catching net.

I thought it might be fun to select a particularly interesting or unique or outrageous spam comment and highlight it each week.

This week I have three interesting spam comments to feature. This first one was from Pokoj13071, who was kind enough to give my blog a second chance after finding it too boring. But I have apparently redeemed myself lately.

I have not checked in here for some time as I thought it was getting boring, but the last few posts are great quality so I guess I will add you back to my everyday bloglist. You deserve it my friend 🙂

This next spam comment was from Fasano, who apparently is a long lost family member of mine. Hopefully I can persuade this previously unknown family member to not peer any more of my posts.

Hello my family member! I wish to say that this post is awesome, nice written and include approximately all significant infos. I would like to peer more posts like this.

This last one is from someone named Ward, in response to one of my Cellpic Sunday posts, wrote:

My wife and i have been really thrilled when Jordan could deal with his homework using the precious recommendations he came across from your own blog. It’s not at all simplistic just to happen to be offering tricks that many others might have been selling. We really see we have got you to give thanks to for this.

Thanks for all the pieces!

I am thrilled that Ward’s son, Jordan, was able to be helped with his homework by seeing a photo of my dog at the beach. You’re welcome for all the pieces, Ward.

This week’s featured spam comment was from someone named Lacki and it was in response to an earlier Spam Comment of the Week post.

Thanks for another informative site. The place else may I am getting that kind of information written in such a perfect approach? I have a challenge that I’m just now working on, and l’ve been at the glance out for such information.

I think the real challenge Lacki should be working on is how to put together a coherent sentence.

I’m adding a second spam comment today because this one seriously freaked me out. It was from Zoe Jones and she wrote this in response to my post “Work-Life Balance.”

Do you think that Sarah is right that Ted needs to find a balance between work and family? Is it really about him wanting a more serene life spent with family or does he want to work himself to death?

At first I thought Akismet had incorrectly put this in my spam folder since it seemed to be a legitimate response to my post. I was getting ready to approve it, but then I clicked on the link to Zoe’s website, and this is where it took me:

That got me wondering if Zoe Jones is a chatbot and her comment was actually created by an AI text-generator app. Could it be that spammers are copying short posts into a ChatGPT app and having it generate comments that actually sound like legitimate comments from real people? What do you think?

This week’s featured spam comment was from Carey Shupe and was in response to my “Adding Insult to Injury” post.

That is a very good tip particularly to those new to the blogosphere. Brief but very accurate information….. Thank you for sharing this one. A must read article!

Carey, I’m glad you found my plan to get out of jury duty to be such a good tip for new bloggers. Falling off a ladder, fracturing a hip, and having hip replacement surgery is, indeed, a good, albeit possibly a little extreme, way to get excused from jury service.

I am adding a second spam comment this week that I’d like to share. This comment was made on an earlier Spam of the Week post and was from Chris Goveny. I’m not sure if Chris is a he or a she, but he/she seems to have his/her bases covered.

When someone writes an post he/she retains the idea of a user in his/her mindthat how a user can understand it. Thus that’s why thispiece of writing is perfect. Thanks!
