Sometimes I don’t know which people are the worst. Those who have spam or those who claim to follow are sending spam.
I deleted 145 spam posts from one of my blogs today. Luckily I posted a moderate open comment, so it would never be posted. That makes spammers look bad, but that's the worst spam distraction that has ever created me.
Yet those who are supposed to be our Spam saviors. Those who claim to be fighting spam have created more problems for me than those who post spam themselves.
Sorbs.net lists your domain name as a spam domain name in case it is hosted on or near the same web host as the spam sender. So you are guilty of sharing.
To remove your domain name from the sorbs.net list, you must give them money. It sounds like cheating as they put you on a personal list and ask you to withdraw money.
Then they tell you that they are giving money to charity. I looked at the charity they said they were giving money to. Go to a legal fund that they can use to defend themselves if you sue them. Some are in need.
Twice now blogger.com has made it easier for me to spam. They locked me out of one of my blogs and I managed a client because their spambot said it might be spam. It also says if you are a person reading this message then I am not a spambot person, and they will fix the situation.
They do this or that blog requires me to type in a small box any crazy characters they have in a small image to make each post on that same blog.
Part of the time the small image is missing. So you can't type lowercase letters in the box because lowercase letters are missing. So how can they use that method to make sure I'm not spam, and then flag it as a spam blog?
However since I get paid to blog every day on the customer blog, my loss of revenue, which I'm sure Google will not reimburse me for, is just that amount lost due to spam attackers.
They did this today on the client blog. They review it and say. Would you like to see that blog? Go to http://hotelsandapartments.blogspot.com It is not spam.
The first time it happened was one day after creating the blog. It had exactly one post on it. Oops, what a mess I got. They prevented me from signing in but sent me a very interesting email, which I did not choose to sign, saying they would be happy to review it with me. They even gave me a nice link where I could fill out a form to request a review.
When I followed their excellent link to unsolicited email, (not spam), they sent me, asking me to log in using a username and password THEY MAY NOT PREVENT ME FROM USING IT!
So that blog had to be rebuilt elsewhere. Also, I have had a bigger problem with spam controllers than ever before with spam. Well, that's all because of me. Now I have to see if I can get a small image below to upload, so I can see which stupid characters I should write in the box to see this post.
