[edit] Guestbook spamming

Neologism. Google shows 887 hits. Not very many for an internet only topic. DCEdwards1966 04:57, Jan 7, 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment: not only a neologism, also very much a fact of life. (I've had to delete the bloody things from my own guestbook.) I don't have anything to say about them that's worthwhile and interesting, but suspect that others do. I'd say "keep", but this might give rise to a largely overlapping article on "BBS spamming"; perhaps somebody can think of an omnibus term for spamming those website that optimistically invite [intelligent] comments, one that would include spamming guestbooks, BBSes, and [oh dear!] Wikis, and suggest a move for this article. -- Hoary 08:49, 2005 Jan 7 (UTC) PS redirect to spam (electronic) -- Hoary 03:55, 2005 Jan 8 (UTC)
