Thirty-three spam comments, examined one at a time to show how you recognise them. A commenter called more help who never mentions the article. Eight near-identical messages with a few words swapped by software. A remark about reducing fats appearing under a post about blogging platforms. Xarah Dax works through the lot, and afterwards you will never approve a doubtful comment again.
She also documents moving between three different blogging platforms, with her own traffic figures shown rather than described, and the domain that refused to point where she wanted it on a Friday afternoon. That kind of reporting is rare and useful.
The crowdfunding post reframes the model as helping three people who each help three more, which is a different shape from the usual appeal.
There are posts on short and long term marketing, on two words worth dropping, and on why refusing to decide is itself exhausting.
Read the spam post before you moderate your comments again.
