About Spammers

Do you know those headbangers? No, I’m not talking about these long-haired rockers who do headbanging to music, I’m talking about people who seemingly bang their head on the keyboard and post the results on forums or blogs.

I don’t mind them bashing their own brain but I’m really not interested in the outcome! If you get the sudden urge to beat the hell outta your own brain cells, then just do it. But do it silently.

My own brain is still working and this might be the reason why I dislike meaningless sequences of letters and numbers. But I also dislike other kinds of spam.

Maybe you know blog comment spam. Yeah, you won’t find a lot of spam on my blogs. But that’s just because they’re moderated. There are people trying to spam on my blogs as well. Trying to advertise viagra, photo cameras or other stuff. I mean what the fuck? This blog is about internet issues and criticism!

Of course, some spam posts are automatically generated. But still, is it really necessary to do this kind of advertising? Can’t they think of something more original? Or can’t they afford to buy some traffic to their sites? Huh? They really get on my nerves!

Or spam in forums. Most forums are moderated anyway so the spam will be deleted after a couple of minutes. Now someone please tell me why there are still so many people thinking this would a valuable alternative to common advertising! Who the hell clicks on those links? OK, some mods or admins will probably take a look but I bet they won’t really like the site that’s being advertised. So what’s the point of forum spam?

All that spam is nothing but annoying. People don’t need to be proud if they managed to hit some keys with their head! It’s not that great, I could do it as well. The reason why I don’t do it is that I like my brain too much. And the reason why I don’t advertise by spamming is that I don’t need to use such annoying methods. Enough said.
