Comment Spam
So I had someone post the strangest comment spam on my blog the other day. You can see it here. I haven't yet deleted it, since it doesn't have any URLs or any real "economic" point to the message. I can only assume that people are now trying to poison the LJ spam filters (does LJ even have spam filters?).

Since I might soon delete the message here's a copy of it


Title: Hi gays, where my money!!!

Hi all!
I don't know what happend? Where are you many?
G'night


I checked the IP of the poster and it's a known compromised box in Korea.

In short WTF?

Heh.

I've been getting comment spam that had things like "Very informative, good article"

Upon suspicion that they're being posted as a test to see if spam comments get deleted, I deleted them and then set anonymous posts to be screened by default. It seemed like the thing to do.

yeah, i suspect it's just to build up a list of sites that they can post stuff on without being moderated/deleted.
