I can imagine how annoying comment spam is (I get it occasionally). I did read, however, another view on this, which does sound quite reasonable.

I don't know what you think about it.

(I promise this isn't comment spam! :)

I've grown somewhat wary of the "notorious" Andy Orlowski's posts about issues - he sees to tilt them too much with personal preference.

However I have to say I am along the lines of him in opinion though. I think this is a big step towards devalueing spammers' pagerank in search engines, but it won't stop spam.

I've been recently getting totally useless comment spam (regardless from which point you look at it). The spammers have just begun to annoy me - they don't advertise anything, but they are all complementing my blog in huge masses - now that's weird. You can have a look for yourself at http://www.vilpponen.net/antti/2005/01/19/the-best-of-comment-spam/.

Nevertheless I think I will implement this in my blog in a few days - even if you don't agree with something totally doesn't mean that I should harm the whole system by not adopting it. There's no harm to me in this, even though I don't believe in it 100%.

Nice blog. I just got mine started today. I hope it will look like this someday. Its just hard to keep finding fresh content
