Question on spam or not spam…

i have just today received 22 comments assessed as spam on one post from 3 weeks ago. This surpised me – have you just changed the Spam settings? It is not obvious whether they are spam or not…

It’s not any change on this end. Spammers work in cycles and 22 isn’t a big deal. If you had a WordPress.org install you would be dealing with hundreds and even sometimes thousands of spam comments every day. Theat’s because the majority of all so-called information on the internet is spam. On this .wordpress.com domain over 80% of all comments submitted to our blogs every day are spam.

A great help – i am OK with my 22 not being a large number (I like quality over quantity :-)). I was just suprised that out of the blue I got this number on one post. And they weren’t the normal…check out my webpage for something interesting sort of stuff.
