What Purpose Does Contact Form Spamming Serve?

Seriously folks, STOP SPAMMING ME!!! I can understanding sending “useful spam” as ridiculous as that sounds. Those emails that we might actually read you know? But what purpose does it serve for you to hit a contact page and send me a bunch of gibberish??? One can only guess that it’s to see if your spamming tool is working before you send out the REAL stuff. Either way… Jonn.. STOP IT!! Or I am going to track you down and make you pay!

It’s bad enough that I get a TON of spam in my Gmail folder each and every signal dang day. I am usually pretty good about clearing it out several times a day. But if I don’t check it I can have like 1200 messages in one weekend. Ri-damn-diculous! I’m sure there are other ways to market whatever you are selling that might actually work.

Yes, I hate spammers.

    Spam sucks. I was getting a ton of spam comments on my blogs. Adding Growmap Anti Spambot Plugin by Andy Bailey, it has stopped these. If only they made a similar tool for inboxs and contact forms.

    Ri-damn-diculous!! ROFL!!!!

    Try renaming your contact page to something less obvious. It’ll probably slow down the foolishness. See mine? http://sophistishe.com/whats-up-sheenz/

    I figure the gibberish ones are from bots looking for security exploits, I used to get them from my mail from until i added a basic math captcha
