And… not likely to affect anyone reading but I’ve had to disable anonymous commenting on my journal since I kept getting spam on old random entries; it looked like bits from a story on a farm but with words jumbled up so that it was incoherent. I got about a dozen of these over the last 2-3 days. -_-X I already had screening on anonymous comments due to a few cases of spam in the past but it was rare and I never got this much within a couple of days. Having to delete that many and the notifications filling my e-mail box was just starting to annoy me. >_<
I’ve had a couple of friends from other sites use the anonymous option and sign their messages before they got LJ accounts; I did that too with a friend’s journal before I signed up for my account a few years ago. Other than the occasional piece of spam, I’ve never had problems with leaving anonymous comments open so I didn’t want to have to do this. But all the spam the last few days was just getting too annoying. >_<
