Just so everyone who can read this will understand what this policy is all about. If you cannot read it, then you are a spam bot.

I have installed TanTan Noodles as a spam filter. It is great for stopping obvious spam. However, the ones that copy and paste a generic comment, usually about 15-20 words and or 2 sentences, without actually contributing to the conversation are spammers as well. So I have come up with a proactive approach on dealing with long tail comment spam. I work hard for my links… so should you!!

It is very simple. If you’re comment does not actively contibute and mention something in the post, and makes it past the spam filter, you will stil get a link. I will approve the comment with a editorial change…

Your anchor text will be changed to the single word…

Spam

You will still get your link, but as owner of this site it is a right for me to have complete editorial control over the content – including comments.

Have fun!!
