From a major NDP blog:
As you may have noticed, a few of the obnoxious trolls who were tossed out a while ago have begun reappearing. There’s a simple reason for this. I cleared out the banned poster’s list. And I did it for a good reason.
There are too many ways to avoid a ban. The Akismet spam filter however, is a learning program. When spam appears on a blog using it, the administrator can tag it as spam. After a while the Akismet program will clue in and begin automatically tagging these posts as spam…on every blog that uses Akismet.
So I’ve begun tagging the obnoxious trolls as spam. It may take some time, but eventually Akismet will pick up on the repetitive nature of their posts and begin zapping them. Until it does, just ignore their ranting.
Your opinions aren't spam. Some opinions are obnoxious. Some are ill thought out. Some are thought provoking. But no one's opinion is without inherent value, if only because it is an expression of the freedoms we all share, and for which many are fighting so that others might enjoy them too.
Cheers all!
