Dear Livejournal: Spammers are going to kill your business.

I am tired of Russian spammers getting lj accounts and then using them to make comments on my blog.  I really should not have to remove 2-3 per day.  I don't want to restrict comments to friends only.

Indeed - it seems to have gotten vastly worse recently too. I am needing to delete several spam comments to ancient posts a day, and it is getting very very old. *grrr*

closing off new comments on a few high-traffic old posts seems to have helped the problem a lot.
