It seems Spammers try to get everywhere, just like the little cockroaches they are. And just like cockroaches, there is no way to really eradicate the little buggers. They proliferate and find the little dark corners to hide and invade the pantry late at night when we are all asleep.

What brought on that little tirade you may ask?
You may know that I am in the process of trying to put together a viable Job Board for people who are looking for Real Jobs and Opportunities to Work at Home. The official launch hasn’t even been announced, let alone any major promotional efforts to find Good Employers. So far, the only Freelance Opportunity I have listed is my own for a Webdesigner to help redesign the Working at Home on the Internet Group.
But, without any promo, SEO or Advertising in place, I have had Nineteen, Yes 19, Spammers start the registration process without following through on the procedures I have in place. I do get notification of them registering and even following through on the e-mail autoresponder verification, however, when they get to the Payment Options page, they seem to just quit.
I am not sure if these are some type of Spam Spiders that are stopped in their tracks or if they are real people spammers who just don’t want to pay for the privilege of spamming me. But, I do know that the Payment Options page deters spammers, at least from trying to register on my site.
Is that the future way to stop comment spam? Make people pay to register to comment?
I sure hope not, it’s hard enough to get people to leave a thought and participate as it is. That would be the End of Commenting as we know it.

I would actually put [s]pammers just under the scum you find in the pee trap of your bathroom sink. Calling them cockroaches is too much.
Hey Grant,You are probably right about how low they are, I was just using something I REALLY HATE as an example.
