Chez Pim advertisement policy. Please read.
I am getting sick and tired of deleting comments by spammers, so I've decided to put together a Chez Pim advertising policy. Since many of you spammers have seen fit to advertise your products, sites, and services on my blog, I will now charge a fee for such advertisement.
Please read. Your advertisement, links or trackback pings on this blog after this notice is posted must follow the following policy.
You may advertise your products, sites, and/or services by linking the URL on Chez Pim comment box, but you will be charged a fee of 1,000 US Dollars for each instant of advertisement, URL link, or trackback ping on Chez Pim.
Your payment must be made in the form of a $1,000 donation to the Chez Pim Spare us a grain of rice campaign by clicking on the rice button on the top left hand corner of this blog or right here. Your payment is due within one day of posting your advertisement on Chez Pim.
Any new advertisement in the form of URL links or trackback pings to Chez Pim after the time stamp of this post is subject to this notice.
PS. Don't think I'm not going to pursue your sorry behinds on this. I will. I'm sure I can find a collection agency who will be more than happy to track you down, especially since I plan to give them all the money—that is a thousand bucks for each comment spam, people.
(PPS. Not-for-profit blogs and bloggers are exempt from this policy. Link away.)





















p.b. another recent script attack on my site has me musing to extend such a policy to anyone who attempts to call mailform scripts and the like. Do share that collection agency with me, please, I have some more work [and $$$] to give to them.

Thumbs up, Pim - these criminals need clear statements [and a reasonable, honest job on top]. I am a lucky blacklist user and I can only suggest you get your hands on it as soon it is released for Typepad [they will release an emergency version for Typepad soon].
As for me, blacklist does it all. Almost. There are freaks, though, who try to abuse my site, and I have taken the generous liberty to list them all [after banning them].

I hope you make beaucoup bucks from this new policy. Comment spam is the bane of my blogging existence. One day last week I got 758 spam comments on my site. Luckily there is a plug-in for Movable Type called MTBlacklist which eliminates most of it. I don't know if you can use plug-ins with typepad or whether the Movable type folks will include it with TypePad or not. Looking forward to installing it when it is released in the next couple of weeks. Until then I've got my finger on the delete key.
