spam in journals and comments

  • ummm... hi

    I'm not reallt sure if this is the right place for this but the recently updated journals seems to be a huge list of titles like "cheap drugs for sale"

    and on another note I don't know how universal this is but in the last couple of days I keep getting comments that say one word and then have between four and five web links about cars.

    I just wanted to report my experience.
  • Thanks

    The spam showing the list of cheap drugs for sale is a new kind of spam where the spammer inserts code into name of their blog. The blog developers are working on a fix so that this can be prevented. I don't know how long that will take, though

    Comment spam will always be a problem, unfortunately. Not just here, but everywhere. The type of spam you described seems to be the current rage amongst spammers We'll see what we can do to help cut it down.
  • thank you, I wasn't sure if they were related,so I thought I would mention both.
