insulting spam!

[dbskyler]

I just got a spam insult! Here's what they said (followed by a link, which of course I didn't click on):

-------
The next time I learn a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I imply, I do know it was my choice to learn, but I truly thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you would repair when you werent too busy looking for attention.

Is this a new tactic to get around LJ's spam filters? If so, it seemed to work, as it wasn't automatically screened as a suspicious comment. However, the other big spam red flags were present: bad grammar, lack of punctuation, and a comment from a new person to a post that is several years old. You'd think those would all be things that LJ could add to their algorithms (especially the last one, which is the single biggest indicator of spam, at least in my journal).

I saw something like that on one of the comms I'm on earlier. I just huffed and deleted it. (Had to leave it to the comm admins to actually delete it from the LJ post.)

I learned all my blogs in skool, i did

Oy. That's definitely spam, but it's certainly a brand new "tactic". I'm especially surprised that the link made it through.

Did you report the bot as well as canning the spam?

Don't spammers know that if they want you to click their links they should compliment you? Sheesh.

(on the other hand, since spammers are obviously WRONG WRONG WRONG... you get the drift ;) )

"Youre so cool! I dont suppose Ive read anything like this before. So nice to seek out any individual with some unique ideas on this subject. realy thanks for starting this up. this website is one thing that is wanted on the net, someone with a little originality. useful job for bringing something new to the internet!" (and a link I'm not clicking)

i saw your post on this before i had any of these comments - so now i have had them i think 'ah, that dbskyler thing is happening!'

LOL just to show you that not all comments on years old posts are spam ;)
Yes, I have been scrolling your journal all evening long, back to this. Not sure I am going to stop anytime soon and I really should as it is midnight in Germany. Don't send the Weeping Angels.

Good night!
