A Farewell to my Chinese Commenters

I admit to being a little slow on the uptake here, but I've only just noticed that all the comments in Chinese are actually spam pushing various dodgy porn sites. I was obviously a bit dubious about them, as I wasn't exactly targeting the Non-English speaking Chinese demographic, but hadn't noticed that all the dots at the end of the posts were actually links to the aforementioned dodgy sites. Ahh, well they've gone now.

Still, they had some lovely things to say, at least according to Babelfish:

"Reads your BLOG article, is really a joyful matter"
"The human wants to study forgetful, is unpleasant forgot, only then can be joyful."
"The good tribe standard needs to share with the good friend--Thanks share"

I'd like to think that my articles are joyful too, who wouldn't? And now that I think about it, maybe I should study forgetful to be joyful. And while I'm doing that I suppose there's no harm in sharing with the good tribe.

So all in all I think everyone benefited. I got some helpful advice and they got a bit of free advertising. The weird thing is some of the comments do sort of seem relevant to the posts, I'm afraid though that's almost certainly just a coincidence.

Edit:
Oh the irony, my post about deleting all the Chinese porn spam has been Chinese porn spammed. Apparently "Young and strong not diligently, the eldest child person is sad." Wise words for us all there. So, unfortunately, I've had to enable comment moderation.
