Livejournal support continue to be useless

This is not a catch-all post for everything you have to say about the bots!
If you google "livejournal russian bots", what do you get? Answer: The same thing that over 6000 other people have seen.
I have been helping LJ users with the russian bots since before Livejournal would admit there was a bot problem, but Livejournal still will not apologise for the incorrect information they originally gave.
I have reported over Eleven Thousand russian friending bots to Livejournal. Does that make a difference to these people? No, they still give me bullshit cut-and-paste meaningless answers to anything I ask.
Today I reported over 2000 new bots and Livejournal Abuse told me they would no longer be accepting my mass reports.
Again, for emphasis: Livejournal has been informed of 2000+ bots, and refuse to do anything about them
This isn't that they don't have time - they outright refuse to import these 2258 suspected bots into their bot database.
Livejournal does NOT have users' safety and security in mind. Livejournal will stand idly by while these 2000 accounts add more friends and copy more entries.
