Warning
Two suspected bots just friended me: adosazl and sgyziznh. I noticed that they were friending a lot of slashy folks, and I'm worried that people who post fic may automatically approve them without much thought, as I'm sure strangers friend fic journals all the time. This is just a heads up. I've reported the accounts in question, and if you've been friended by them and you are similarly suspicious, please report them too. These days you just can't be too careful, sadly enough. Who knows what mischief those stupid bots are up to anyway?
ETA: ANOTHER bot just added me. This one is Jnaomjazh.
I've noticed that what these bots have in common is this user list:
chickenfried_jo, dracosgyrl, helterbraegen, howru783, iamglory, illuminated_sin, kimberlyannew, mistresskat1596, often_adamanta, rafman, rsharpe, sagas_stories, slashorama, solalia, starlingsings, tweedle_, vap0rtranz, wattsy
It appears the bots are trying to target SPECIFIC journals or are sharing lists, maybe figuring that some journals will friend one or another of them, and they'll share information? We just don't know. Watch out for these creatures! :P
