Administrative notice

[rolanni]

Because of the high number of identical spam that has hit this journal over the last two days from registered LJ users, all posting the exact same message* to years' old journal post, and also because I'm sick to death of deleting the damned things, marking the perpetrator as a spammer, and reporting himorher to LJ admin, I have reset the reply permissions on this journal.

Only people who are my LJ "friends" may now comment here.

I regret the inconvenience.

Edited to add:  Going to "Friends Only" seems to have been futile.  I received six more of these stupid things on the overnight, attached to journal entries from 2006 and 2007.  The fact that journal entries from 2006 and 2007 exist is kinda scary in itself. . .

I figured it wasn't just me getting the damned things. I'm sorry it's happening to you too, and I hope that LJ figures out how to block himherit.

It seems a lot of effort, making all those accounts, and then sending the spam. I guess somebody figured out how to automate the application process.

Gah.

Most likely this.
