My old Thursday Thumb-Twiddler meme blog is being left up as something of a honey-pot for comment bloggers. I get a number of posts each day left there, most of which are of the standard type (laundry lists of pr0n sites).<\/p>\n
Over the past few days, I’ve noticed something a bit sneakier — site name that look normal, but which are, in fact, self-forwarding sites or gateways to pr0n sites of various sorts. If I didn’t know that the posts going there are likely spam, if they weren’t clustered together, and I didn’t actually check some of them out, I might pass them by. Especially since they are embedding the URL in the URL field, and posting with an innocuous “Mine are up!” body.<\/p>\n
As it is, they get sighted, reported, and zapped. Huzzah!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
