Japanese spammer theory

[cdave]

The random-words / chat-log-paste / no-links-included spammer back, and it's on good old 125.14.157.123

Since this can defeat re-captchas, and seems to come in bursts of the odd message a few hours, then nothing, I really think this is a person.

I'd like to go through the f-list of everyone whose been affected and see if the people on their f-list have been making comments / posts that correlate to these times. But that sounds like a bit of a mammoth task, and I don't have time to undertake it at the moment.

Comments

But a fair few of the people I want to read this are not on LJ.

And to reitterate my theory, I don't think this is a flypast spammer. I think it's a human being with a weird sense of humour. I don't get any other commentspam, and this seems to only affect a small number of people.

I get it. I got bored with deleting it so I now screen anon comments - they tend to be the only anonymous ones. Not sure what the point is when the output can't be seen by anyone but me.

I was just supplying a data point for your "going through the f-list of everyone whose (sic) been affected" (not "whose"!) to tell you that I'm someone who is not affected, and to give you the information about why I may not be affected by this.

Ah, excellent! Cheers in that case.
