Okay, I guess I'll be f-locking this journal as far as personal entries go. I keep getting friend requests from random people who don't speak English and who list absolutely none of the interests I do. I've also just had to delete spam comments on two separate entries

gahhhh that's happening to me too. it's unnerving. I always flock personal entries anyway, but I'm not about to give personal info to people I don't know anyway.

Glad I'm not alone at least.

Are the Russian friend-bots out in force again? You can report the names to LJ and they'll take care of it. The accounts usually get deleted soon after.

[unbridled_b]

Yep, out and up to their usual shenanigans. I've reported them, but I thought maybe if I kept a lower profile they'd stop targeting me to much. It's getting annoying.

They used to friend my fanfic LJ all the time the last time there was a big influx.

Ugh, I had to lock a post recently because I kept getting random comments from people not on my friend's list.

[unbridled_b]

I've never minded strangers popping in on an unlocked post as long as they had something relevant to say, but I draw the line at spam.

I really understand - and hope I make the cut!

[unbridled_b]

Fear not. You definitely make the cut. :)

I have also had random people who don't speak English friend me but most of my posts are flocked and I don't friend anyone who looks "fishy" For me it is kind of easy since I don't write fiction, I'm not as well known as you. So unless they comment about friending me I don't friend back.

[unbridled_b]

I used to friend somewhat easily, as long as the person listed some of the same interests as me, but for the past year or so I've only been accepting friend requests if the person's lj is broken in or if they're a regular commenter on my own. I probably should've been implementing that policy all along.
