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]

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.

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

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*
