Help Me Out With Spammers

by Freneau on Mar 18, 2010 9:17 AM EDT

Guys,

Most of the SB Nation sites are getting spammed during the middle of the night. I'm catching most of it, but in some cases I'm missing some comments for awhile. If you see an obvious spam comment (insane name, tons of bizarre links for jeans/pills/etc) flag it as spam. I can get to it faster that way.

I've been banning & removing like crazy in the last week

Something like 10 of them. And then there are the ones that SB Nation bans before they even get to us. Somebody is going on spam frenzy.

I can't believe there is any success

with spamming as a marketing tactic. I know personally, when I see spam, I make a mental note to never consider purchasing those products. Do people really respond to adds like this?
