spam.jpgI know that I've talked about sites going prospam or ignoring their spam problem in the past but even I have to admit that this borders on being obscene.  For a good time, go over to Google and see how many times Viagra appears on their site.  I had originally thought it was more of an issue with their student blog site and with comment spam that hadn't been dealt with (edit: Oh wait, I guess that is an issue.  Maybe they need to try Typepad Antispam instead of using Akismet.) but it now looks like some wikis (and maybe a forum or two) are where the problem lies.

I wonder if someone knows something about the professors over at Harvard.  Maybe the medical school should form an outreach program.

And it looks like other folks have noticed the problem as well.  Heck, Microsoft even used Harvard.edu as an example of how to search for such problems.

I'm purposely not giving links so not to add to the problem.  You can find enough of them via the Google search up there.
