I receive the nicest spam ever.

I keep a close eye on the comments posted here to /dev/null. The biggest reason for this is that I often get comments on really old posts and the only way I'd ever know is if I watched the comment list. Another (slightly less important) reason is to keep the spammers at bay.

Over the last few weeks I've gotten some spam in the form of link-free compliments. The spambots use the "homepage" field to link to their site, which comes up as a link on their username and is infinitely less annoying than the embedded link spam.

Usually I just junk spam outright but for these...well, I've decided to strip out the homepage from the username and just leave them otherwise intact. I don't think they'll be mistaken for genuine comments (the usernames are usually "rolex replica" or something silly) and as a huge bonus, they're posted in different languages!

Here's the first compliment comment spam, posted to Painting A Car: the latest ride at Universal Studios!:
