Are these comments safe to approve?

I wouldn’t let those through. They are most likely part of a scheme to raise the ratings of domains before they switch them over to actually promoting things.

I’ve noticed this type of spam comment lately, too. I had the same thing happen to me and I didn’t let it through. I couldn’t figure out what the scam was though. I didn’t know what they were gaining by copying my post onto essentially a blank page with no ads or anything. I don’t get it.

Thanks, [b]newflesh[/b] and [b}badMike[/b]. I don’t know what his scam is, either, so I tagged it as spam. I am afraid that I may get some bad action from Google if this guy has actually linked to my site, rather than just snagged my posts, though I’m quite peeved about that, too.

I wouldn’t worry about that.

I got 4 of them that aksimet caught as spam, and as a humorous side note, earlier i posted

“I’m not even sure how many people read this danged thing anymore. I kinda fell out of the communities I was in and haven’t seen any traffic here in a while. At least noone that comments. Ok I take that back, I have had comments for gay porn, viagra, breast implants, penis enlargements, and anti depressants and diet pills. Kinda makes me wonder if I come off as an overweight, depressed presurgical trans sexual with under developed breats and concerns about post surgical impotence and size issues.”

and within 5 minutes akismet caught a viagra spam trackback. thats my snicker for the day. But yeah thise “nice comments/trackbacks whatever are spam don’t approve them. Any time is says (one of mine for example) something like https://garage floor coverings . com it’s safe to assume it’s spam even if your link is attached. unless of course you are in the garage floor covering business:P

Ok, thanks a bunch everyone!
