Question?

Anyone getting hit with spam/comments? I've gotten a bunch today, same message but different user names. Deleted and reported as spam, changed my settings and password. Not much else to do I guess.

People are spamming with links to a product or page. Just report it and delete it, it's not personal. A few of them are lj users, for this purpose only probably, and many are anonymous. If you filter your comments to not accept anonymous they won't get past that.

No these aren't anonymous, they all have different user names with the same creepy message and link. I'd never click on a link as I know better and just deleted and reported as spam. I also changed my settings for now.

I was just curious to see if anyone else is getting hit on Section 7.

I've deleted about a half dozen or so that came through with some kind of link and were posted here on this comm. One or two of them have accounts on lj, and are using the site to promote business ops of some sort. If it came in on section7 then it isn't related to your page, I don't think. But, settings changed may help.

Okay then I'm not the only one seeing them. Hopefully if reported, LJ might be able to do something, but since they're all been registered user names, even if LJ deletes the accounts, the spammers will only use new one.
