I skim-read through all my blog spam every day. Akismet, whilst brilliant, doesn’t catch everything, and often gives me false positives. There are many times when I have rescued a comment that would have been deleted if I hadn’t been paying attention.
Lately, however, I’ve noticed more and more bots trying to get past my comment filter and sell me drugs. But none of this viagra and percocet business; that seems to have all disappeared along the line. It’s the Valium they’re trying to shift.
I suffer from frequent panic/anxiety attacks. I need to delve into the cause for them one day, but at the moment, they come at seemingly random moments, and I have been prescribed medicine to calm me down.
Guess what that medicine is?
Yep, Diazepam/Valium.
I appreciate that the bots are trying to appeal to my needs, but if it’s all right with them, I’ll stick to the Valium that has my name on the box.
