at first it was funny now it's just annoying

[certainthings]

I've gotten three of these so far. From different people. Or the same person under different names.

Hey This is hard for me because I have never done anything like this.. but I have a huge crush on you. I have never been able to tell you for reasons which you would quickly identify as obvious if you knew who this was. I'm really attracted to you and I think you would be wanting to get with *Read FULL Card Here* dating.unudulmaz.com

are you getting these? how do we stop them?

I got one on an old post I made in a comm so I marked it as spam and deleted it.

Damn Eastern Block spam drives me nuts.

I've finally gotten to the point that, after deleting the spam, I edit the entry to disable comments at the comm itself. So at least I won't get fruture spams.

But it's annoying as hell. These journals typically have 0-2 entries, but the person bothers to create a layout and everything just for the purpose of useless spam. Wish LJ trappd those better, but hey-- it's not ABOUT our needs and wants.

there was one day where i got like five spam comments on REALLY old fics i had posted around lj. some were like that some were about making money. super annoying!

I've gotten 10 or 12 of these just in the last few days. Yet if I want to comment anonymously somewhere LJ needs to know that I'm human. This is effed up LJ.

Yeah, I've been getting a lot of those lately, mixed up with a few that has another message. It's super annoying. *sighs*

Same here! I got a couple of those and another one offering free money. It's super annoying.

Yeah, I've gotten one in an ancient post in a comm. Spammed it and deleted it. Gotta say, that kind of spam is annoying yet amusing. Do they really think I'm going to click on a random link? Oy.

I think I got at least three. All "replies" to really old not-mine LJ entries. SIGH.

I think the only way to stop them is to make all your posts locked. :/
