Another attack, I'm now going to screen comments by anyone I don't actively
link to, in order to prevent more messy spam.

hits struck on entries 6402 and 6427, again.

[update-9:40am offending journal suspended. nice work, abuse team!]

remember, if you want to complain about spammers, it's just a link away...

What is with the spammers and you?

how spammers find scotto

I'm probably one of the most indexed sites on LJ... (I was #1 a while back on google) and I think certain keywords summon spams. I notice the spams always land in the same entries of mine, and flying_blind has had the same trouble.

fortunately, lj_abuse is on the ball, and is putting out fires as they get lit... I hate to say it, but dropping the "invite codes" has caused this problem... hopefully the anti-spam code will be in place soon to relieve it.

All the excitement happens while I'm sleeping! I got the Viagra spam, too, and on the same post once again. By the time I found out, the fake account was already suspended. I'm still wondering why that one post has gotten all my non-Passion of the Christ spam so far.

I'm more concerned that I've recently gotten five spam forwards from LJ at the e-mail address I have posted on my user info page. I've deleted all of them without opening their attachments, of course. I don't know if the "mangle displayed address" feature isn't working, or what. I've never posted that address anywhere else on the Internet.

Sakes.. I've been quite fortunate as far as lj-mail spam-attatchments are concerned. My mangle addy is working... you can tell if you lok at the page not logged in, and view source.

I want to know what keywords are the main appeal for our "magic posts"
