Bots On LJ

Bots are joining Live Journal!

So non humans are joining LJ and friending people, I am assuming it is the rash of Russian auto-frienders!

Haha. I opened a support request on the 29th of September, entitled "Support Staff need to be educated about the existance of russian bots."
They never replied, but since that was posted 3 days later, i guess they paid attention.

I started reporting them to LJ in August, and they told me they weren't a problem.
I laughed in their faces and told them i would want an apology when they finally admitted they were a problem. No such apology has been made, of course.
Since then they have suspended over 2000 journals that i have reported.

But here's all the information i have on the subject: http://nympholept.livejournal.com/tag/russian+bots

If you care, please spread the word about what to do about them.
