I won't be commenting on the election, or talking about it. Most probably know why.

Is anyone else getting a bunch of annoying spam posts to old live journal RPG posts?

Comments

[likebunnies]

No spam but I seem to be getting more requests to join some HP LJ thing that hasn't been active since 2003. I don't even remember how I ended up being someone who could even add people. I never know what to do with them.

[eibbil_libbie]

LOL. No idea about that one. Maybe some people are really into retro fandom?

[jagienka]

Yup. Been getting a lot for ATF. I've been going in and changing them so only friends can comment. Tedious, but seems to work.

[eibbil_libbie]

yeah, that's what I'm doing, too. As soon as the notices come in, I go to the journal, log in, change the settings, then delete.

I'd do them all...but with as many LJs as I have? easier to get hit, then fix.

[jagienka]

Same here. Still tedious. But it's bittersweet nostalgia to read old posts.

[eibbil_libbie]

Some are more bitter than sweet - not because of the past games, but when I compare with the present...yeah. Bitter like lemon.

Those were some awesome games, incredible people, and wild nights when things were rolling.

[imaginarycircus]

Yeah. I was just hoping I don't drive you crazy with me YAY posts.

You mean the "I have a crush on you. Click this creepy link." spams? Yes.

[eibbil_libbie]

You were happy and excited, you were supposed to me making yay posts. I ended up making a few changes to default view for a while. It's all good.

Those are they. I'm averaging about 3 or 4 a day. Major ugh.

[imaginarycircus]

Yeah. I have to blacklist "teen wolf" and all the actors names and ships to be able to read my Tumblr.

OMG. Me too. And the posts they are commenting on are kind of hilarious.

[eibbil_libbie]

I haven't been to tumblr since yesterday, probably won't go today either. And my Facebook is like a pretty dead, too. Ah well. Only so much football-spiking a girl can manage. This has been a fairly shitty election season, tbh, and I'm glad to see it over.

Yeah - I love the ones that end up on the RP smut links.

[imaginarycircus]

It's sort of a nice trip down memory lane, TBH. Like, "Oh, yeah. I forgot about that post!"

[misscake]

I got one of those too! It made me laugh. How very odd!

[ravenrants]

And here I just thought I had hordes of admirers with questionable grammar skills.

I'm so disappointed. Crushed. Really.

[eibbil_libbie]

I know! All those nervous people who'd never done that sort of thing before, coming to me! I was so flattered, I immediately clicked the link.

...really?

[zorb]

Yep, I'm getting spammers on community posts. I just hit the report spam button so the feedback gets sent.

[eibbil_libbie]

Do you have to be logged in to that journal to do it?

[zorb]

I think so. So far, all the ones I've gotten are posts I made to communities, so I don't have to go password hunting.

[eibbil_libbie]

Mine are all coming in from old RPG posts/links - which means hunting up passwords. Triple ugh ugh ugh.

[shadowhawck]

I only have a few, so thankfully I have not had any of this yet.
