Too f'ing bad LiveJournal
A bunch of unmaintained communities that I am a member of got hit by spambots.
The maintainers of the communities are long gone. LiveJournal requires spam reporting to be done by community maintainers. What a SCREWED system. I went through and flagged all the spam as adult content. Does that make more work for LJ employees? Yes it does. Do I care? No I don't. Until they have a solution where any member of community, or trusted user, or whatever, can deal with spam I'll keep doing it. Spam is a flood, requiring vertical communication filters to even make a report, yeah, that's systemic failure.
