Spammers and Spam Hunters

Sunday, May 10th, 2009

Sometimes, I do not know which people are the worst — those that spam or those that say they’re going after spammers. I removed 145 spam posts on one of my blogs today. That makes the spammers bad, but that is the worst inconvenience spammers have caused me. However those that apparently are our Spam saviors. Those that say they are fighting spam have caused me more issues than the spammers themselves. To get your web site name removed off sorbs.net’s list, you have to give them cash.

Sounds a lot like extortion since they by hand add you to the list then ask you for cash to be removed. Then naturally they tell you that they give the cash to charity. I checked out the charity they assert they give the money to. It is going to a legal defense fund they could use to protect themselves if you sued them. They have locked me out of one of my very own blogs and one I manage for a customer because their spambot expounded it may be spam. It also announces that if you’re a human reading this message then naturally it’s not that I am likely a spambot and they’re going to correct the situation. They went and did this although on that blog they need me to type into the small box whatever insane letters they have in the small graphic to make each post on that very same blog.

Half of the time the little picture isn’t even there. So you cannot type the small letters into the box as the little letters don’t exist.

So how will they use that system to be certain it’s not that I am spamming, and then flag it as a spam blog? However since I get paid to blog daily on the customer’s blog, my loss of earnings, that I am sure Google won’t reimburse me for, is simply that lost revenue thanks to the spam wrestlers.

The 1st time it occurred was one day after I created the blog.

Again, I’ve had loads more difficulty from spam wrestlers than I ever had from spammers. Now I need to see whether I’m able to get the small picture below to load so I’ll see what dumb letters I should type into the box so you can see this post.
