Most of the spam isn't from individuals. It is Porn and Drug sites using software to submit hundreds of spam comments an hour all over the web. The others come from SEO companies hired to create back-links for their clients and they do it by finding do-follow blogs and leaving comments like "Great Post". Those all get dumped in the spam filter as well. Jon-Paul,

About the site, er, I am actually undergoing a redesign to alleviate that ambiguity. By the way, may I suggest that you include a way for posters to modify their comment. I noticed a typo when it was just too late. I have found your post extremely informative, and I am also very glad to have found the lab as well, thank you. @Dave Smith –

The purpose of this post is to inform those who might e new to commenting (such as yourself) and aren't aware of good commenting etiquette. Newbies, are often given a "get out of jail free card" (thought that might be a good example you being with Free Houston Lawyers) BTW, does that mean they work for free or are in need of being freed?

In my defense, I am kind of new to the whole website building/commenting scene. At any rate, I think it would be wise to express discretion while marking people as spam. There is no sense in punishing someone who didn't realize that they were in error. Beyond that great post, and happy banning!!
