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!

Comments

There's some guy who's collecting the names of bots and puts them into a list which can be used for banning. You can see the most updated list here:

and also comment to add the usernames of bots who had friended you.

unfortunately the post is in Russian, the lists are links to google docs at the end of the post: http://docs.google.com/View?docid=d826qf6_2d3xtd3f4 (simple list) and http://docs.google.com/View?docid=d826qf6_3frqv7nf2 (ban_set list)
I know about that guy, what a selfish prick.

I bet if he saw someone breaking into his neighbour's house, he would just lock his door instead of calling the police.

If he had done the right think and reported that list to livejournal abuse, they would be far less of a problem for everyone else.
