   There are way too many spam websites. There is probably at least one spam site for every (good) blog out there. If we were to report every spam site, we’d be doing nothing but that.

   Yet … the original post is still valid. We’re not hunting, we’re picking off the few that we run into. It’s a lot better than doing nothing.

   I do it on a regular basis, but what I’m looking for is a site where we can track these sites and date of reportings.

   1) Is my feedback doing anything?

   2) Let’s get a small group (repeat: small – 20, 25) of people to report the same site. Let’s direct the group-think towards a goal that will benefit everyone – techy or not.

   When I first started blogging, I was excited to get comments on my blog. However, as time went by, I was infected by comment spammers. It was too time consuming to deal with, and I wasn’t going to approve them. If you comment on my blog, you’ll have to convince me that you read the post. Furthermore, if you comment, you’ll need to add something that adds to the topic.

   Generic comments won’t cut the mustard on Spunky Jones. I had developed a plugin that would allow a no comment blog to open posts up for discussion. This way, you could occasionally see if your audience has changed.
