[Imc-web] (no subject)

[Mike Lehman]

Don't know how much others have noticed the re: comments. They're mostly 
short comments containing ad-links. Over the last few days, as part of 
the general increase in spam, I noticed that many of the original 
articles they were posted to also contained other comments, seemingly 
innocuous, that on closer look turned out to also contain ad links 
missed earlier, either by me or other, who simply hid them. At least one 
said something about being a "web beacon" whatever piece of spam ridden 
crap that might be.

Even when hidden, these seem to be attracting more spam, so I've taken 
to carefully reviewing previous comments made to the article the re: 
spam is showing up in and deleting those I find, even when they were 
hidden. I can only hopes this helps, even a little.

The posting of images that have no image and only spam likewise 
continues -- and are being deleted. No other solutions there, I guess, 
although I inquired with Tech about them.
