Spambot commentor

[galadriel1010]

I finally got hit by the spambot commentor, which makes me irrationally proud.
I'm a lot pissed off that it's a homophobic spambot commentator, but I am aware that it's a bot.

If you're not aware of it, there's a spambot with hidden porn going around, making comments that refer to fanfiction on unrelated posts. Mine referred to Harry Potter and Twilight in the claim a prompt post.

Dang it, you got porn? I got a Chinese one! I'm actually a bit jealous I think...

I have been led to believe that it's porn, but the links are hidden and I didn't unveil them before I deleted

I understand there's a Russian spambot too. Lovely :)

I got a random 'I love Snape' comment. Thought it was a bit odd...

[fiwen1010.livejournal.com]

Yep, spambot.

I'm not exactly sure what a spambot is. Can you educate the clueless?

It's a piece of software that goes around commenting on posts - usually advertising porn. Like the pingback bot, but less useful. Some are targeted at reasonably related posts - like the ones going around at the moment that are at least finding fic people, even if it's not on Harry potter or even fanfic related posts, and some just get slapped on randomly

Because I don't know what's happening, I decided to do a very little search about this... then i saw your/this entry.

I don't really have anything to say but thank you for this info.
I would also like to tell you that i used your post in my entry.. I hope its fine...
