I just blocked my first user because they placed spam on my blog and on a number of others that I have read this morning.

I intend to keep them blocked for roughly 24 hours, at which time I will unblock them. If they choose to repeat this and put another plea for people to go to their blog, with complete disregard for the content & context of my blog, I will make the ban permanent.

So far this morning I've lost count of the number of times I've come across the following post

The bottom line is that the above is rude. You don't go to other peoples blogs with post cut & paste messages for their readers to come to your blog. Especially when you have never even posted a real comment to that persons blog to begin with, much less asked if it was ok for you to promote yourself!

It's akin to graffiti, and will be treated as such.

    Post or comment?

    I saw your comment on his post right after I put this one up.
  • Indiefilm said on Sep 15, 2006....
    Just checked, looks like you did both, and beat me to it in both instances.

    I didn't bother following the link he posted until after I vented my splean...

    That wasn't right, I don't care how much he loves the other person. Although I don't think he was thinking straight it still not right to do that.
  • Bordy said on Sep 16, 2006....
    Yeah he also just posted an apology on one of my random blogs today, aimed ad you, SW, and me (cause yall had already blocked him). But it was rambling, and far less than apologetic. So I deleted and blocked.

    What a shame.

    i choose to view it as an unfortunate reminder that assholes have internet connections, too.

    RollingC: I don't think he thinks straight. From what I've seen it appears to be more of a constant thing that a random 'drunk blogging' incident.

    Bordy; I read one of his appologies... less than apologetic I think describes it fairly well.

    SW: lol! good point.

    I am amazed that you will unblock him for what he did. King's to you, Indiefilm!

    anyone who's that much of a shithead isn't someone from whom i want to receive comments.

    As long as he's not actively making stupid comments on my blog or others that I read, I'm willing to give him a chance to learn... And since I haven't heard from him, I'm willing to drop it for the moment.
  • anarchist said on Sep 18, 2006....
    Indiefilm, I can never be as gracious as you. I'm glad I met somebody like you.

    ed, why the.. er, passionate ire?
  • silverwhisper said on Sep 18, 2006....
    my patience for spamming is particularly low. :>

    apparently.
    ease up on the stress/anger.

    lesser individuals aren't worth the wrinkles you get. IMHO. :D
  • silverwhisper said on Sep 18, 2006....
    anarchist, for me, that's the equivalent of a facial tic. trust me, you've never seen me actually angry. at most, i've been possibly irked on soulcast.
