Hub comment spam
It happens to me all the time, and it irks me. People think if they type up (or copy) a big, long, "relevant", comment their link is going to fly. It doesn't, as far as I'm concerned. That's because a lot of people are told that when they want to post their unsolicited link places it might go over if they "post a relevant comment". That little blue square with an arrow in it pretty much says, "I didn't have a shred of interest in this Hub. I was only looking for a place to post my own links." I know a lot of people just figure, "that's how it works among Internet writers", but it irks me anyway (which is maybe why I shouldn't be writing on the Internet, I guess...
