Are you that desperate?

I’m not quite sure as to why but I keep getting the absolute dumbest comments being left by people who just float through. I previously posted about my issues with finding a school. Every aspect of the entry was pointing towards ripoffreport.com (no, it was NOT a sponsored post, contrary to popular belief) explaining that there are 70+ strikes against a supposed-to-be top notch accredited university. I also noted that every single school I’ve come across also has the exact same statistics and the only option for me at this point is a campus based school that more than likely will not fit into my schedule, this is why I’m choosing to go to an online school so I can work at my own pace – not someone else’s.

So I open my inbox today and notice a comment from someone without a real name, a phony email address, and a link to the site matching the name as though I was actually writing up a sponsored post, but in this case it was just someone looking for a back link because they saw that I plug commenter’s.

Now, the comment literally said “they are all great schools, but the most important thing is to have fun“. I only listed one school, I listed how horrible the school actually was and I then went on to explain that it’s very stressful to even FIND a school. How exactly am I going to have fun? How exactly is a school that literally rips you off going to be a great one?

Why the fuck are you stupid ‘spammers’ so fucking stupid!

Where’d this person come from? Well, IP’s show me that it was a referral from someone elses site that houses the do-follow blogroll. Why are people not only spamming those who follow the rules, but abusing the system so disgustingly? I just don’t get it.

    I get that kinda thing all the time, people just looking to comment for the sake of it. Since I don’t link commenters I’m guessing they just want me to visit their site and comment or something?? I posted a blog before that was about something else but I also mentioned that I was at my cousins wedding recently and someone posted a comment congratulating my cousin on their new baby, worse still, the comment afterwards also said congrats on the new baby…I weep for mankind sometimes.

    I am fairly new at blogging and am in the process of trying to get a page rank. I do go around and look at the dofollow blogs since i know i can get a linkback, but i dont just comment to help myself out. i only comment if i actually have something to say. I wouldnt comment without actually reading a post and feeling like i have something intelligent to say. I know what you mean, as i read a lot of comments on blogs and see how stupid some people are. I am sorry some people take advantage of you following the rules! I am in the process of trying to become a dofollower myself, i just cant figure out the old classic blogger way yet. I have benspark helping me a lot! by the way, i like your blog a lot, very nice read!
