As for the comment spam you are seeing on this post, I haven’t found it. Maybe someone caught that and removed it.

I’ve been caught by comment spam filters many times and it is very frustrating. You can try commenting again and telling your story. I’ve had to do that many times.

The purpose of a splog? Do you get junk mail in your mail box? In your email? When a website does the same unwanted advertising junk, it is the same thing. An attempt to lure you into buying something you don’t want, don’t need, and wish would go away.

Splog is an abbreviation of “spam blog” representing the worst of the worst on the web. Unfortunately, like email spam and snail mail spam, there is a lot of money to be made.

The articles linked to within this article will take you to more helpful information, including articles linking to a lot of information I’ve written on comment spam and splogs a while ago.

I agree, and you are far ahead on the learning curve. Most people want to keep every comment they find. Learning that comments are content and the comments WITH content are more important than all the “thank yous” and “this really helped” comments is an important learning step all bloggers must go through. Good for you!
