Spam? I Dunno...
I check my comments for spam pretty often, usually daily. Part of the problem I have is that sometimes I have no idea what the comment says, because it’s in a language I don’t understand.
As an example, I’m staring at the comment below, trying to decide if it’s spam or not. Some of the words relate to the post that it’s commenting on, but, well, I dunno.
Now, I’m taking a risk here, because I have no idea what this says. Here goes:
tu landscape es una mierda por favor putos de mierda vayanse con su landscaoe bien a la mierda
Google translate says:
your landscape is an excrement excrement well please putos vayanse with his landscaoe to the excrement
To put it mildly, this doesn’t sound like a complimentary comment, but is it spam?
Dunno.
Update: I had a friend translate it. It’s not spam, but it’s not pleasant. Obviously, the person that wrote it understood the post but then chose to reply in a different language.
Hmmm. Thoughts. Obviously this is an english language blog. Should I expect people to comment in english?
Or maybe I’m just being trolled.

English is not my first language. But I don't think i am mean when i remove all comments from by blog that are not in English. From my point of view a blog should have a standard. Beside it's both time consuming and difficult to find many language's online translator to see if it is a spam or a real one in order to qualify the comment.
