I hope there's a special circle in hell for serial adders like [livejournal.com profile] silent_and_calm and [livejournal.com profile] dirtyfilthy... they'll have to sit there and read and delete spam 24/7. Right next to the spammers and trolls. Come to think of it, I think they fit both categories.

I don't get why people do them the favour to friend them back. That just makes it worth their while.

[livejournal.com profile] silent_and_calm runs a particularly annoying script (based on [livejournal.com profile] dirtyfilthy's, apparently) - a bot that searches LJ for new posts and, soon as it finds one, adds the poster to his friends list, then takes them off again if they don't friend back within a certain period of time. Lether, rinse, repeat. I've been added by that bloody ยง%$# journal a couple of times already. I banned him now; let's see if the friends-add notifications get filtered out. If I'm still getting the notifications after this, I'm gonna report him to LJ abuse for spamming. The only thing that kept me from doing so is that it looks like a lot of trouble... and that hopefully a couple hundred others have already reported that little $#!+!

I loathe spam.
