FYI: SPAM Filters

Being hammered by SPAM again, so if your post tb/comment hasn’t registered in my weekend (or other) linkfest or on the post you commented on

1.) Your comment WAS SPAM (in which case, I doubt you’d read this post *heh*)

2.) Your comment/trackback is welcome by me but fit one of the parameters of my SPAM filters AND it was hidden in a batch of more than 500 comments/trackbacks labeled as SPAM by my filter and I just deleted the batch without skimming them all, cos I just don’t have that kinda time, even setting the scan rate to as fast as my eyeballs can flicker.

If you believe your comment/trackback fits into category #2, do as Bernie at Planck’s Constant did and let me know. Here’s his trackback, apparently missed in a batch of over 500 or so in my SPAM queue:

Oh, and tracking back your own linkfest to a linkfest post? Here’s a hink: I consider that a legit linkfest trackback IF your linkfest is a dual-purpose post, that is, it has some content beyond just :Link me! Link me!” OK? Otherwise, why link it to another linkfest? Nobody’ll read the thing. Hit up Linkfest Haven Deluxe for that.
