Canned lunch meat aside, it is apparent no one enjoys spam. But as of late there appears to be a McCarthy era war on spam going on. To a point where we are all impacted, and we all may be accused of being spammers. Yes, even you. What is spam? Well each person has a faintly different definition according to their motives. At first, spam referred to bulk unsolicited emails. Junk mail. And no one will disagree that junk email is an inconvenience. The solution was that every software company feature anti-spam protection, usually including a seperate folder to hold the multitudes of spam we recieve. But there was a little catch with that. It was up to the software company to define spam, and each one is different. The result is that many good emails are tossed in the spam folder. It is common practice now for all of us to at one point check our spam folders to make sure we didnt miss anything crucial .And we usually do. This lead to aboveboard companies having to inform us that we had better look in our spam folder, to see if there was correspondence from them. So now, instead of looking for spam in our good folders, we have to look for spam and good emails, in our spam folder. Another curious fact is that everyone seems to think that everyone else, is a spammer. I recently opened a blog on a blog site. I left my usual profile background and in the occupation box, I entered "internet marketing". One hour after I launched the account I got a letter from the blogmaster. It told me that I was a spammer and that I wasnt welcome on their site. Mind you, I never made a post. So I wrote to the blogmaster and told him I was'nt a spammer, and asked why he thought I was. He replied that his outstanding spam sensitive software had detected the appearance of spam. He then apologized for wrongly accusing me. Ezinearticles is one of the top ezine directories on the internet today. They have strong anti spam standards in place. BUT, if you put an article on Ezinearticles, you cant promote the article with social sites like Digg. Digg and others will not let you bookmark anything from Ezinearticles.The reason? They consider Ezinearticles to be a spam site. Getting confused? I know I am. Then comes the biggest atrocity to ever hit the internet. Captchas. The most insidious form of torture known to man. The purpose of Captchas is to ask a question that cannot be answered by a bot. The thinking here is that this will cut down or get rid of the use of automated programs to post spam.At first Captchas started off simple. Small four letter words or symbols. child's play for a real person to answer, but unlikely for software. Or so they thought. Early captchas were something like "Water" or "F78H", but i guess the developers didnt think this was challenging enough for the automaters. They began to make these Captchas longer, more words, and more bizarre. Its to a point now where I probably answer 1 out of five Captchas incorrectly. And, if you cant get the answer, you may not be able to get to your work. The Captcha people began adding strange spellings, unusual characters. They even began turning the letters upside down. Some of the Captchas are somewhat amusing. I recently had to enter "Quaalude Nightmare". I wonder who writes these things ? In any case Captchas are now an internet way of life. But do they help with spam? Not very much at all. For one thing the real spammers all use De-Captcha services. For pennies, the real spammers can stay away from entering any Captchas like the rest of us. These services are integrated right into the very software they use to spam. So in actuality the only ones that have to put up with the horrible aggravation of Captchas are you, me, and little old ladies trying to buy a bird house on Amazon. So this is just component of the new holy war on spam. Everyone considers the other guy a spammer. We must take more time to check our spam folders and tell our legitimate customers that they might not see our emails. And we are forced to waste time taking part in the game of idiotic crosswords. I would say I spend a lot more time working with anti-spam than I ever did with actual spam. Now for my not so spammy plug.
