Eight Questions

I Want To Talk About Pain

I’m really trying to determine how to best deal with comment and ping spammers. I like MT, the MySQL database, the interface, etc… and I’m not switching, period. I like my host (Hosting Matters), and I’m not switching.

Hosting Matters is evaluating and testing a security module that intercepts comment / ping requests before the actual request is made to the script on individual blogs. They are also considering incorporating a master blacklist of known spammer domains into the security module. The effect of this would be to block requests that are spammish in nature. The master list would be pulled in by every server on a set, automated schedule, just as the email spam lists are. This will allow them to easily add entries to the master list quickly and have those changes rolled out without having to go to every server.

Although I don’t completely agree with this, it has become, or is becoming, a necessary evil. I’m downtown with it.

But,

That’s not what this post is about. I want to talk about pain, and I’m asking for your input.

I want to discuss Torture.

The scenario is: I capture a spammer(s), alive, and I’m going to share ‘em with you.

How do we kill ‘em? What is the most painful way to die? How long will it take? The longer, the better…you think?

If you were the devil, how would you do it? Behead them immediately? Inflict continuous pain until they expire? Let them live their lives knowing when they die a natural death…they’re going to hell, or worse?

I’ve never asked for a comment or ping, but this time…I want to know.

I say tie them down near a fire ant mound, pour honey on their genitals, pump honey up their asshole, pour honey into their eyes and leave them to suffer. Don't forget a small trail of honey from the victim to the ant mound. Repeat as necessary.

Go read some of the stuff the Jesuits witnessed in the early 'discovery' of north central North America.
Pulling fingernails, slow roasting at the stake while teasing with fire-brands in every nook and cranny of the body. My personal favorite is described as positioning the victim's body so securely that his mouth is forced open to catch the run-off of a decomposing body/animal. Death is sure, but not in any hurry. Check out the'Jusuit Relations'.

Butch: "What now?"

MARSELLUS: "What now? Well let me tell you
what now. I'm gonna call a couple pipe-hittin' n******, who'll go to work on homes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch.(to Zed)
Hear me talkin' hillbilly boy?! I ain't through with you by a damn sight. I'm gonna git Medieval on
your ass."

I gotta say the torture scene in Without Remorse was the best I'd ever heard of. It had to do with a decompression chamber.

Isn't there a way of using captchas for comments and blacklisting the trackbacks and pings?

I use EE and the captchas have completely killed comment spam. Also the blacklist has pretty much killed the trackback spams. I'm not familiar with MT but in EE I put in a common word in the trackback spam and it deletes all of them containing that word.

Oh yeah, and I'd LOVE to get my hands on a spammer. I'd lock 'em up in my celler and invite all bloggers from all over the country for a "party".
