Comment Spam Alert [1] Comment Spam Problem Continued [2] Spam meets blogs [3] When the Spam Hits the Blogs [4] WWWBoard spam [5]
I've generally been relunctant to add comments to my weblog/journal even though several people have been hounding me to do so [6]. And now there's a problem of spam hitting comment systems on blogs (see sidebar). Mark Pilgrim [7] explains the problem [8] into much detail, and gives good reasons why he's not adding comments any time soon.
Which is pretty much how I'm feeling about it myself.
