Sometimes I find people evangelizing some religion through comment spamming. However it happens. Is it spamming? I think it is. Without knowing the religion of a person if you try to thrust your own religion down his throat, it is wrong. The comments are mostly out-of-context which is a sure sign of spam. It is irrelevant [...]

I have a Megabook guestbook on my Web site. It uses a CGI script and unfortunately I have been getting an INSANE amount of spam comments lately. I really don't want to take the guestbook down but I'm sick of dealing with 20+ spam comments every day. The only thing I've found that claims to be able to fight guestbook spam is a program called Junkeater. I was wondering if anyone has used this program before. How good is it at filtering out spam? Do you know if it is compatible with Megabook? Any info would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Web-designer wanted.


I'm looking for a web-designer who can construct a personal website. This site will have some member only areas and may even turn into a pay-to-view site. Pay is negotiable. I need someone reliable and talented in photoshop. For more information please send an email to summerinmalibu@aol.com. Do put something pertaining to 'live journal' in the header as to distract my spam eater. ;) Also, linking your work may help me reply to you quicker.

I am having a problem sending/forwarding emails with my Netscape mail account & Netscape 7.2 mail client. More specifically, I am trying to forward spam to my spamcop.com account [http://www.spamcop.net/] to automatically LART the headers & content. (I forward the spam emails as an attachment to my SpamCop account address, it parses out the spam email(s), then emails me back with a link to a web from with the email parsed out and I select who I LART. Dam slick, IMHO) Everything was working fine before this past weekend.

Now, when I try to forward a single or multiple spam emails I get the following error:

First we had WordPress which sported tons of hidden spammer links by ingenuous use of negative CSS positioning. Then Syndic8 decided not to be left behind and joined the fray. Later both of the sites were somewhat forced to remove the offending links due to falling Google rank (read zero) and possibly to some extent [...]
