Is anyone else getting spammed over on ff.net? I'm getting two kinds - one is I suspect one person using several different accounts set up in the last few hours and leaving multiple reviews on the same fics under different names, all saying "Nice chapter, Best Wishes".

Plus I get better readership over there and lovely comments :) ). None of my entries would be recent enough to attract random spam reviews. You'd think they'd have better systems for detecting robots like that.
I'm guessing if you told them about it, they'd likely do about as much as they did when you had that horrible git stealing fics and being a general arse.

Yeah, they wouldn't do anything ad these people are essentially harmless,just odd. I've got two more reviews on the B5 drabble, which makes 8 reviews, 8 favourites, 8 follows, and only one of those is from a friend of mine. The rest are the spammer under 7 different names. They must like clicking buttons, and they get around the 30 second wait before they can send another message by adding a few random letters and numbers. Whoever it is really has too much time on their hands.

At least I'm notching up quite a few favorites, even if they're all from one person. People are weird!

FF.Net just seems to attract the crazies with too much time on their hands.
