So I open up my email and I see a flood of new messages. At first glance, they all seem to be emails letting me know I’ve gotten comments. I like comments :happy: But then I looked closer–and these comments were all “awaiting moderation.” Hmm. Suspicious.
Seems I got 20 emails telling me about these comments. Gee, it seems this could be serious. And oh, it is.
Welcome, my friends, to the world of comment spam. Where bots come and deface perfectly fine blogs (even if they be trendy anime blogs) with legions upon legions of absolutely useless SPAM, advertising cheap prescription drugs, free online gambling, and various unsavoury sites of the Internet. So, to sunny of the domain moonlightshadow.us and lilo of the domain suddenenlightenment.us–go find yourselves a new hobby. Really.
I’m wondering how in the world they got my blog address, though. Considering that there are only a few sites that link to mine and that the majority of sites still link to the old address…. Hmm. Kinda weird. :confused:
Of course, if they found my blog, that means they’ve been posting all over the Internet. I haven’t found any references to Lilo yet, but Sunny here is quite a prolific poster, it seems: Nathan’s had to deal with her, and so have others… And thanks to him for pointing out a WordPress blacklist plugin!
Oh, and Reina, I really apologize for any spikes in your bandwidth that may have been caused by this idiot. 🙁
