I pity words like ‘informative’ which get targeted by spammers and used as generic and meaningless words in comment spam. Don’t you?
Look at the word, informative. It was a nice word, a shy and quiet word on it’s own. It didn’t cause a ruckus. It didn’t ask for much. It really just wanted to let people know about a few things, important things but not Earth shacking. Nice things like, "the colour of your new dress really suits you". Important things like, "your new dress seems to have caught fire". Informative was just a nice, simple, well meaning word. Until the comment spammers grabbed it.
Which word do you notice being especially abused by comment spammers lately? Is there one that stands out in your mind as you skim through and delete comment spam from your blog?
