WOW O_O

[birdsofshore]

Somebody really spammed LJ pretty thoroughly, hmm?

*blinks at friends feed*

I don't even get what they're advertising? At first I thought it was an accident, like those nightmares where you post to a comm and for a second you think you've pressed 'post to ALL comms'. But it's lots of different users posting? I'm scared. What if it's somebody taking over other people's accounts to post indecipherable things? WHAT IF I'M NEXT? *clings to flist*

Comments

IKR? I reported each one as a bot. I wonder if they are all from the same IP address?

[vaysh]

How did you do the reporting as a bot?

[vaysh]

Found it. :)

[birdsofshore]

Well done for reporting. ♥ They seem to be in full flow still!

[cabinetcaligari.livejournal.com]

Wow, your feed looks even worse than mine!

But we're here! And if they have come to take over our flists, we will hide in a cave in Cornwall, and read each other smut by candle light, y/y?

Edit: also I found this and I had to think of you...

[birdsofshore]

OMG. That link. OH MY GOD.

I can't focus on the rest of your comment, sorry. There are men. HAIRY, DARK-HAIRED MEN. There are even some armpits.

This is.... Very inspirational. I will bookmark this for.... Academic art purposes *loosens collar*. Yes. Academic.

[vaysh]

It must be a bot who does it. *hates*

[birdsofshore]

I don't understand how that works, or what the point is? I can't see any link to buy anything. I just don't get it. *feels old*

[writcraft]

UGH, I know. I thought it was just one post and then I scrolled down and was like... o.O

I also hate that 'remove friend' is just below 'friends feed' in this layout on my screen. I nearly accidentally removed you and have nearly done that before when clicking through to other posts and then going back to my feed *CLINGS* - must remember not to check LJ before morning coffee :P

<3

[birdsofshore]

DON'T REMOVE ME! *wail*

I really dislike the new layout on LJ, especially on my phone. The endless scrolling doesn't work, you can't find anything.... grumble grumble.

They seem to be hard at it still! I've only got sherlock and hp comms on my feed, but they're all over both fandoms.

[daleah.livejournal.com]

That mix between English and Russian makes no sense. I think that the links inside the posts are infected with viruses. But I looked at the profiles of users who publish this nonsense - they are created on July 25 this year and none of them is a member of the communities in which they published.

[birdsofshore]

Frustrating and mystifying!

[capitu]

What! I was sleeping when this happened? Where was it? harrydraco?

My flist looks normal. ^^

[vaysh]

No, no spam so far on harrydraco. *snuggles harrydraco*
But loads of other comms, even active ones like dracomalfoyfans and sherlock60.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_hannelore/]

Yikes! I haven't seen any of that on my feed (yet... I just started), but that does indeed suck.

[birdsofshore]

God, it's a mess! I hope all the comm mods wake up soon and start banning posters!

[besamislabios]

I started reported them, it's so annoying that each spam is made by a different account though. :(
At least I can read my flist to users only!

[birdsofshore]

Well done for reporting them! ♥ Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

[shiftylinguini.livejournal.com]

On the plus side, this is doing wonders for my somewhat Cyrillic algebra!

[birdsofshore]

LOL, I know! I feel my Cyrillic algebra was really getting rusty. This came just in time.

[brunettepet.livejournal.com]

It's irritating. I guess it's time to just hit AO3 and read my To Read bookmarks!

[birdsofshore]

Don't abandon us as we struggle on against the tide of spam, LOL

[torino10154]

I feel rather left out as I've only seen two Russian posts. *sad face*

(I did report them though YAY!)

[birdsofshore]

I've got at least 20 on mine! Still coming, I think!

[firethesound]

I didn't think it was that bad... not much on my friends page, but I took a peek at yours and yikes! ::flail::

(And you're not next, you can't be!! ::clings:: )

[birdsofshore]

I'm still here! Completely untouched by spammers.

Hey, you don't happen to want to buy some used textbooks, do you?

[lijahlover.livejournal.com]

I know even my little recipe com had some spam.

[birdsofshore]

That's when you know you've made the big time ;)

[enchanted-jae.livejournal.com]

...once again, I seem to have missed all of the drama.

Darn.

:D

[birdsofshore]

It was quite tedious, I promise you didn't miss much!

[catch-life.livejournal.com]

O my God... I hope you've got my letter, this spam notwithstanding. It was not in Russian, I swear :)

[birdsofshore]

Haha! I got it and am just about to reply!

[heck-weasy.livejournal.com]

It's not a great day to have come back to LJ to try and dig through and find old fics!
