OK - I understand the ideal of free speech, democracy, and commercialism. I also understand nothing is free, especially the Internet, which we all take for granted as being free, but it is not, we all pay for it.
BUTTTTTTTTTTTT - there are different ways to pay and I have one in particular I am getting a little peeved at.
Some sites support themselves by allowing ads and spam and the like. My email accounts are all full of junk as is my regular mailbox and answering machine - ok - I deal - BUTTTTTTTTTTT I pay for the site I keep my story website on through my cable Internet.....
I ALSO PAY for the tagboard I have at the bottom of my site so people can leave me comments about the stories I and others wrote or other things (PS feel free non spammer people to leave messages and comments and discuss said stories and so on)
Recently I have noticed a trend - spammers have created a new spambot - I know there are programs that people run and it sends the spam out into the world with a few keystrokes - well looks like one is now targeting TagBoards - I can ban the IP (and I do - trust me) and delete the comments, but what a pain in the arse for me.
So go for my email and other things - but leave my TagBoard alone you marketing boohaas
