Dachshunds vow to fight blogspam to the end.
According to Weasel blogspam is not as effective as it once was for increasing rank in search engines but apparently some people haven’t figured that out yet. We’ve always had to spend a few extra minutes at the keyboard doing some spam filtering but things have increased lately to the point that it’s gotten kind of annoying. In the past WildDoxies would get around 300 spam comments in a month but recently we must have gotten on a new blogspammer’s list as it has increased to 500 in the last 7 days!
There was a lot of discussion at Wild Doxie central and Mikkey thought maybe we should just turn off the comments at least for a while. Mikkey is pretty laid back and it seemed like an easy answer. Abbie on the other hand is more aggressive (as long as she is behind a door, fence or Weasel’s legs) and wanted to fight at all costs. The tie had to be decided by Weasel and he voted with Abbie which didn’t really bother Mikkey since it allowed the meeting to be over so he could go back to napping. Trouble is that both dogs get to go nap and Weasel has to do research tonight on some anti-blogspam options. Maybe voting with Mikkey was a wiser thing to do.
