Wow! Gold!

By -
OK, folks, Andy explained how these blog spammers are ingeniously getting past the word verification feature and spamming this blog anyway. (They get porn surfers to type in the key word for them.) So, does anyone know how to prevent this new maneuver?

    Not really sure, but I have noticed that some sites have started to allow comments only from posters who have registered in advance.

    I guess we have to ban porn on the Internet.

    Maybe it does and you've already done it, but does Blogger have a setting that treats any comment with more than x number of links as spam? If it does and you haven't set it, then that should block a lot of the stuff (it works well in WordPress at least).

    Gene, I note further that the blog hosting sytem used by the Mises folks (where I keep my blog) contains the features Chris refers to, but doesn`t allow for a gotcha.

    The result is that comments with too many links are not rejected, but simply don`t post.

    It occurs to me that "wow gold" is not "Wow, gold!" but rather "WoW gold." WoW is the abbreviated form of "World of Warcraft," a popular online game which involves the use of gold as currency. Believe it or not, there are people who actually pay real money in exchange for gold in the game. In response, a network of producers has sprung up, typically in developing countries, to "farm" gold. You can read about gold farming on Wikipedia; aside from the fact that it's really annoying that they keep posting things on your blog, it's actually kind of a fascinating phenomenon.

    Save up and get vbulletin I had the same problem and had to add a question to my registration process. It is working fine now no more of those Porn and Viagra spammers. Trust me I know your frustration. If you can ban IP addresses I have logged the perp that does the 10 to 12 porn spams “194.8.74.155”

In ancapistan, if you have no property, you have no rights

By -
Ancaps often declare, "All rights are property rights." I was thinking about this the other day, in the context of running into libertarians online who insisted that libertarianism supports "the freedom of movement," and realized that this principle actually entails that people without property have no rights at all, let alone any right to "freedom of movement." Of course, immediately, any ancap readers still left here are going to say, "Wait a second! Everyone owns his own body! And so everyone at least has the right to not have his body interfered with." Well, that is true... except that in ancapistan, one has no right to any place to put that body, except if one owns property, or has the permission of at least one property owner to place that body on her land. So, if one is landless and penniless, one had sure better hope that there are kindly disposed property owners aligned in a corridor from wherever one happens to be to wherever the...

St. Paul and I Agree...

Taxation is not theft: "Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves." -- Romans 13 The key idea implicit here, and the one that turned me on the subject of whether or not taxation is theft, is that "every soul" owes obedience to the "governing authorities." Now, if that is a debt I truly owe , then, when those authorities levy the taxes they need to do the job of governing, I owe them those taxes, and attempts to collect them certainly do not constitute acts of theft. And obviously it doesn't matter at all, from this point of view, whether or not I "signed" any sort of "social contract." (In fact, the history of political thought since the Reformation can be read as an attempt to find a secular rep...

Libertarianism and Violence, II

By -
I decided to move some discussion from this post up to the top level here. Specifically, Watoosh wrote: "Well, if violence is defined as initiation of force (which, of course, presupposes certain property rights), then I think Rockwell is correct..." Well, if we define cats as elephants, then many people keep elephants in their house. More seriously, firstly, violence is not usually defined that way. It's defined as, you know, violence, so that, say, someone may respond violently or non-violently to someone who aggresses against them. Otherwise, it would make no sense to say, for instance, "He punched me, but I did not stoop to violence in response." And, secondly, the libertarian usage of "initiation of force" is very offbeat. If I wander onto someone's meadow, most people would not say I had "initiated force" -- I mean, sure, I used "force" against the earth to push off walking, but that's not force directed against...
