Spammers Again
July 8, 2006 at 5:43 pm by Will Crawford in Ramblings | 1 CommentIt doesn’t show up for readers because I have moderation turned on, but this blog attracts a lot of comment spam. Thankfully, Akismet (the WordPress 2.0 spam filter) catches 99.9% of it without my having to look. It’s caught over 2,500 attempts since I installed it a few months ago. A few snuck through today, and it seems to be because the link spammers have started to take over public wiki pages, and are using the comment spams just to link to the wikis. And since the wikis are on real sites, often at universities, it’s not so obvious to the filter that the content is not legit. Sneaky, and it’s probably going to be a problem for wikis going forward.

Heya.
I’m thinking about applying to Sloan. Would it be possible to just send off an email to you with a few questions regarding Sloan, the MBA and the admissions ?
Just to cover the ground and for me to get a feel from a students perspective.
I know you’re really busy, but I really would appreciate it a lot if you could spare me a few minutes of your time..
Thanks.
If you’re up for it, just email me.
