Spamlib?

I posted my thoughts on fanlibdotcom back when things were starting to get messy. Within the past ten days, that post (and that post alone) has been hit with anonymous spammers. The IP addresses are all different and their message is always the same.

I've screened them all (because they piss me off) but took a screencap, if anyone's interested.


Anyone have any idea what may be going on here?


ETA: The spambots were just lost in the time-delayed tubes of the internet, it seems. :)

I had the same thing happen. One specific post on my journal attracted a lot of spam comments, and I think it's the high-volume thing, because that post was a story that got a lot of links on places like del.icio.us. I can only assume that some sort of spam-bot found it, or that the URL was added to a list of some kind.

I just ticked the box to 'mark the comments as spam' when I deleted them. It seems to have worked for me, so I didn't need to block anonymous comments, which I didn't really want to do, as that blocks anyone who doesn't have an LJ.

Yeah, I have too many people meander over from ff.net to want to block all anonymous commenters.
