Hate Mail, Comments, Spam, Etc.,

Filed Under Philippine Comics | 15 Comments

Magandang gabi!!

I was checking the spam folder of my comments section in this blog when I realized that there were suddenly lots of legitimate comments there. I saw ten legit comments there in a span of one day alone. Which is weird because it hasn’t happened before. I think the spam program, Akismet, might be having some issues.

I do check the spam folder often, but sometimes, when I’m feeling harassed, lazy, I just delete all spam unseen. It’s conceivable that some legitimate comments may have been deleted in the past week or so. If you feel that a comment of yours has been deleted, let me know, and apologies in advance.

No apologies to those who send in hate mail though. ha! ha! You seriously think I’m going to let those nasty things pollute my blog? You must be out of your MIND! Not a democracy, this blog. *NOT* a democracy. It’s an extension of my house, and if you talk trash in my house, magtataka ka pa ba na sipain kita palabas? Hindi, diba?

Unlike my blog, the Internet *is* a democracy. Gawa ka na lang ng sarili mong blog at dun ka magiipot, okey?

Still, it might be funny to actually post some of those things one of these days. Some of them are just so hysterical.

    Maybe you are using a lower version of Akismet. The new one is smarter. :p

    Akismet attracts more spammers. Before when I disabled my Akismet plugin I rarely get spams. :P

    Gerry, buti ka pa may mga hate mails or comments. Sa ‘kin wala pa naman…pero meron yata dati paisa-isa lang. Nasanay ako mag-ignore ng mga hate comments kasi considered as spam sa ‘kin mga ganun.

    Tama ka rin na dapat mga gawa sila ng mga sariling blog at dun sila magkalat. Weird lang kasi na akala ng mga “newbies” kahit saan pwede sila mag-post ng kahit anong gusto nila.

    Gerry, ayheytchu! Kasi di pa tayo nagkikita. Punta ako dyan minsan, bulabugin kita sa pagtapos mo ng Elmer. :P

    Grabe Ed! Itong post mo, at post ni Anne sa Spam ko pareho nakuha.

    Ayos lang mga hate comment Ed. Sikat ka na pag may hate comments ka. ha! ha! Binabalak ko ngang compile at gawing comics balang araw. At least pagkakakitaan ko pa. ha! ha!

    Kaya kayong mga haters dyan, tuloy lang! Sad ako pag mawala kayo, hu! hu!

    Woot?! Kaya pala wala akong nakitang post ko na may notice for moderation, sa Spam napunta. That’s weird.

    Hehe. Good idea yan, Gerry. Mabilis ka naman makaisip ng katawa-tawa sa mga ganyan eh. :D

    Ang mas nakakatawa nito Ed, akala nila di ko sila kilala. Sa Internet, lalo na sa ganitong klaseng blog na kung anu ano ang plug ins, nagkakaroon ng footprints ang mga bisita. Ang shocking dito ay isa doon ay kakilala ko pala.

    minsan talaga may sabit ang Akismet..
    hindi lahat napapasama sa right comment thread
    kaya pati yung iba napupunta as spam hahahaha.

    katamad minsan kasi mag approve hahhahaa
    kaya delete all spam…. tapos… opsss.!

  7. Gerry Alanguilan on September 13th, 2008 9:54 am

    Az! Yun ngang huli mong comment sa Spam ko nakuha. ha! ha!

    Ako naman, since I always check ang bawat spam before I delete it, parang ganun din. Kasi I check every message pa rin for moderation. At least ngayon wala nang legit comments na madedelete.

    Maybe the software doesn’t do too well with Tagalog messages.

  9. auggie on September 13th, 2008 8:46 pm

    Gerry,

    Hate Mails ? bakit , what’s their beef against you this time ? o yung the usual stuff pa rin tungkol doon sa mga manga ?

  10. Gerry Alanguilan on September 13th, 2008 9:22 pm

    Iba iba, Auggie. Yung iba tungkol pa rin sa comics (hindi manga), iba medyo personal na. Natatawa ako kasi ang bobing ng comment, pero nakakalungkot din kasi kilala ko pa naman. Pag kaharap mo kala mo ang babait, pero pag nakatago na sa Internet ang babaho ng ugali.

  11. Ed on September 14th, 2008 10:17 am

    Wow. Kilala ko ba sya? Ba’t naman sila ganun? ‘Di ba nila alam sa bilis ng technology ngayon pwede na sila ma-trace? Dati akong comp-sci nung college so hindi imposible na hindi magagawa yun. :\

    PEACE on the INTERWEB! Hate na lang the SPAMS!:P

    Many of life’s lessons I actually learned from movies… such as being wary of people you don’t really know who are too nice to you (learned that from RAISE THE RED LANTERN).

    I’m normally a pretty good judge of character. I have this radar that can sense things. I know if someone is gay for instance. And I know right away if a person is someone I will like, or if a person is just putting on a face, or if a person isn’t one that I would like to associate with. But it isn’t fool proof. I think I can say my sense on these things is 75% correct.

    When I look at you, Robby, and see your photographs (at the PKMB), I don’t feel any animosity at all, and I feel that you’re someone I could get along with. Strangely enough, it doesn’t always play out that way online. Perhaps we should meet one of these days.

  14. auggie on September 14th, 2008 1:38 pm

    Right on Gerry ! ganoon din ako. I usually trust my instincts, pero hindi rin fool-proof. Kung minsan, pumapaltos din. Pero mataas din ang batting average. Masama ang loob ko pag-pumapaltos ang gut-feel ko, and I passed judgement already.

    Yung mga gagong nagdodoble -Cara sa iyo, eh usually, INGGIT, ang nagfu-fuel niyan, kasi successful ka sa ginagawa mo. Wala naman akong makitang iba pang motibo.

  15. Robby Villabona on September 16th, 2008 12:47 am

    Likewise… I’m sure one of these days we’ll see each other. Probably when we least expect it.
