Spam-Alot

posted by Bert McBrayer at 09:08  No comments filed in: , 

A couple of weeks ago, I established a MySpace page so that I could connect with other politically minded folks on the Internets. Having had a personal MySpace page for a couple of years now, I had already become familiar with spam accounts that link to other... questionable websites.

But, I must say, in the past 24 hours I have received nearly 30 requests for "friendship" from accounts that are highly suspect. In only ONE day... ugh.

I know that users are able to adjust the settings on your account so that you can reduce such an occurrence, but I don't want to limit the people who legitimately want to view my page - and discuss similar (or different) interests. I have already been in contact with several individuals who have discovered my blog through this MySpace page.

I guess there is no way to solve this dilemma - I just needed to vent.

This space is designed for thoughtful commentary on politics and media (and whatever else comes to mind). The Pajama Pundit welcomes people from all political stripes to voice opinions freely and without fear of mean-spirited attacks. He does however expect intelligent discussion -- and some understanding of proper grammar usage.

For a more detailed look at commenting, please review our Comment Policy.

Please refrain from personal attacks on authors or other users. Back up your argument with documentation (links to elsewhere on the web). This is a big sandbox -- so please play nicely with one another.

NOTE: For all of the HTML nerds out there (like me), anchor, strong (bold), em (italic) and blockquote tags work within the comment form.
