A first

[ksmith]

received my very first porn spam today, a comment to a post from late last year. I've therefore set up screening of anonymous comments--I know some folks who post don't have/want LJ accounts, and I'd hate to ban anything completely. We'll see how the screening goes.

Comments

I had three of these spam comments so far this week. In the past, every now and then I would get a spam comment for "buy cheap drugs here", but the live webcam spam is new, and annoyingly persistent.

I'd like to know where my spammer picked up the post. I mean, it was from last *December*. No one would see it but me.

So from now on, I screen. I don't want the things sitting in my archives like little invaders.

Yeah, the spam always hits older posts. Must be something about how they are trolling, or maybe the figure that some bloggers only check for comments on newer posts.

Which you think would defeat the purpose...

For a while, I was getting them on a single old post, so I just closed the comments on that one.

That gave me a break, but tonight they found a new post to spam. Screening may be the next step if it keeps up. Very annoying.

There seems to be a plague of that kind of thing lately.

BTW, first post. Love your books, post over at your yahoo_group. Very excited about the new book. Seem to have lost the ability to use subject nouns in my excitement. :-D

Coolness--thanks for stopping by the LJ side of the Janiverse!
