I don't know what the solution is ...Thanks Nathan. I don't know what the solution is and right now I really believe many people do this and don't even realize it can be considered spam. Once we've reached the tipping point of awareness I think we'll see it change by the accidental spammers. <BR/><BR/>What I can't get past, however, is that this new rule of spam may actually prevent some helpful comments. If, for instance, someone actually had a website that truly benefited and supplemented a blog post I'm all for it getting added to the blog comments. The problem is that everyone's going to think their site/blog is helpful or beneficial whether it is or not and therein lies the problem. Either the good gets included with the bad or the good gets thrown out with the bad...and unfortunately it seems like the good loses in this case.Bill Seaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13769562749667982496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29679669.post-88056447841289970582007-02-23T07:03:00.000-06:002007-02-23T07:03:00.000-06:00Yeah.
