The Clever thing to do, would be just remove my site from your scripts…
Or you could say hey “I’m linking to a texas holdem site”….. go figure,
I’ve played nice but I could just publish all your footprints, IP addresses and URL’s …
I guess the last thing that the Blog Spammers would like to see is a poacher turn game keeper… your choice

That’s why you drop the right people messages or make your blog spam-proof. Most people who still spam my blog regret it….

Let me guess… you get several hundred msgs per day from a series of anonymous texas hold ‘em related sites? Same has been happening to us - it’s maddening. We’ve sent messages to the company that seems to be behind all of it, have installed a spam filter and comment moderation so that they get nothing out of it… and the spamming has just gotten worse.
Infuriating.

Yes, Dave, that nofollow thingy will do just the job. I’m actually surprised you are even getting blog spam these days, after it’s been out for months. I understood it would stop all this

WordPress is good for dealing with trackback spamming - at least it has a moderation mode, which prevents being published by default - unlike MovableType, which so far forces the blogger into simply publishing all, or disallowing trackbacks. Precisely why I had to take trackbacks off Platinax.
No point chasing the IPs - usually open proxies. I actually keep a record of trackback spam I get for this information alone.
The URLs often redirect eventually anyway. And, as we all know, you can’t prove a third-party redirect has anything to do with the targeted site.
Maybe best thing to do is simply 302 or DMCA the domains in question. 6th July 2005 @ 23:16

nofollow will prevent crawlers to follow all indicated link for a particular page where you put it, so it will work I think.

Nofollow prevents search engines from giving the outbound link ranking for the target site. For the purpose of comment spam, it is irrelevant and useless .

Nofollow links were be followed
Example:
<a href=”http://www.linkvendor.com/” title=”neues Tab: Strg+Click neues Fenster:Shift+Click” onclick=”ct(this)” rel=”nofollow”>Linkvendor.com</a>
from http://webmaster-verzeichnis.de/blog/linkvendor-acht-seo-tools-auf-einer-seite/http://de.search.yahoo.com/search?p=linkdomain%3Awww.linkvendor.com&prssweb=Suche&ei=UTF-8&fl=1&meta=vl%3D&vl=&pstart=1&fr=fp-tab-web-t-1&b=11

Why do people hate blog-spammers so much? A lot of the blog spam I see makes more sense than the blogs they spam

Like I have any sympathy?
So you’ve been spammed. But you are a spammer…
So, why do I care?
And if you spent some time using the proper plugins for your blog, you wouldn’t get most of it. But you’re more busy spamming sites yourself.
Deal with it.
There ain’t no violins playing for you here.

Having been finally hit by the Poker and Casino comment spam, I’d be perfectly happy to vote a death sentence for this activity. At the least, let me bill them for the time spent dealing with it and adding code to my blogs to block them. Bit WordPress can indeed be configued to block it.
