Holy anonymous comment spam!
Why is it that JF has such a problem with anonymous comment spam, versus LJ? I just spent way too much time deleting anonymous spam on both of my JF accounts.

So sadly, I have to go to no-anonymous commenting. I don't like to do that because it's not as if getting a JF account is effortless, but that was just ridiculous.

I went screened anon comments as a safety measure when Rf got like 50 pages of spam, but I never got any spam myself.

I don't know, maybe "The Frugal Slut" gives you lots of Google hits or something? If I vanity-google myself, comments on your posts are always among the top results.

As to LJ vs JF, I guess the difference is just that JF has no "prove your humanity" check going.

The weird thing is that most of it was hitting [info]bettugi. But then that could be the porn thing, also.

I never knew LJ had implemented a "prove your humanity" deal! I guess I don't do enough anonymous trolling over there. :(

Same here, and I still haven't gotten any on either of my accounts. Maybe it's because I've got that "Minimize your journal's inclusion in search engine results" thingie on?

Was it the same thing as here?

ARGH I REMEMBER THAT

Now I'm even more glad I turned off anon commenting before it was too late. Jesus Christ, it makes me want to take a baseball bat to someone's computer.
