Spraying for spammers.

[icarus]

I've got a new spammer. This one, amusingly, is pro-Fanlib. Or pro-former Fanlib would be the better term.

If you'd like to block this person as well, the names used so far are:

donnbessede
lincolnmerrick
dylanmilaney
rickeyallin
brentonshahen

Here's a link to the admin console. Just type in: Ban_set [fill in user name here]

Comments

That explains the odd comment I received.

Did you get one, too? Let me know if this spammer has another name and I'll add it to the list.

[theemdash]

It was one of the ones you listed. I'll keep an eye out for others.

One more: rickeyallin

We're up to five names now. It's all the same person. New accounts created in the last couple of days, same layout, similar posts.

Thanks for heads up. I already ban set their asses. :) Someone should really start a comm for spam alerts like this.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

That's a great idea.

I wish I had time to moderate it and make sure people weren't listing their favorite enemy.

Hmm.

[sage-theory.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm seriously considering doing it, though. It seems like it would really cut down on the spam.

This person has apparently been tracking this Russian spambot crap for a while now. Seperis has been hit 8 times as well. I'm spam free for the moment *crosses fingers*

Thank you very much for the headsup and the link to the admin console.

This one, amusingly, is pro-Fanlib.

Isn't that kind of like being pro-Caesar Augustus, or something? :D
