Okay so like, has anyone else had a ton of Russian spambots commenting all over their stuff? I keep rewriting the firewall but I'm not gonna touch the community's network after what happened last time, and that's probably where they're coming from! It's totally obnoxious, I mean, I don't even speak Russian, so who are they trying to sell to?

Comments

What's a spambot?

[entthront]

They're just dummy accounts that comment everywhere with ads for buying things!

[immortal_vino]

Oh, you know I think I've gotten a couple of those. But it wasn't an ad. It was something about someone named Snape and Harry Potter.

[entthront]

I know, right? Like, what even are they trying to sell?

[peoplesprincess]

... What's a Russian spambot?

[entthront]

See above!

[peoplesprincess]

... That's weird. I haven't seen any, I don't think. Are they easy to tell apart from real people?

[entthront]

Oh yeah, they talk total gibberish!

[entthront]

What would Russian prostitutes be stalking your journal for?

[entthront]

Last I checked she wasn't going FOR THE MOTHERLAND!

[bluespring]

LiveJournal has an exceptionally large number of Russian users.

[entthront]

Okay, but I don't speak Russian!

[bluespring]

The spambots don't know that.

I think I was lucky - I didn't get anything like that, but even so I don't think I would've noticed with everything going on lately.

[entthront]

Your font is stupid.

[pimpcoats]

I can't really do much to change it right now - I'm actually texting from my phone.

[entthront]

Don't care, still stupid!
