O NOZ

[cleolinda]

Can anyone translate "интересна" for me? Someone with a brand-new account just commented with that one word on a four-year-old Lost recap, and I'm still scared from the copperbadge hacking.


ETA: If anything weird (like MY JOURNAL BEING DELETED NOOOOO) should happen, go to https://twitter.com/cleolinda.

ETA 2: Okay, "interesting," which is what I also got from an online dictionary. I STILL DON'T LIKE IT.

ETA 3: And to make up for this being a completely useless entry, have today's journal flashback early: A Tale of Two Kates.

I think it's 'interesting', but my Russian is, ah, rather rusty.

[sleary.livejournal.com]

I think so too. I imagine it's one of the Russian spam LJs that have cropped up recently.

[queenofthadorkz.livejournal.com]

apparently it means:
"It is interesting"
hope this helps!

[vega-ofthe-lyre.livejournal.com]

Yep, it means "interesting"! I think! My six weeks of Russian class have come in handy!

[madripoor-rose.livejournal.com]

I think it means 'interesting' but I'm not sure.

[apetslife.livejournal.com]

It's probably a bot. There have been a lot of reports of Russian spammers/bot accounts that run around commenting "very interesting" or "interesting" or the like on peoples' journals. I've gotten a few myself, though they were in English, not Russian. There have been a few people compiling lists of suspended bot accounts, and reported spam accounts, etc., which I would have a link to if I was at all competent.

So, annoying spam! Not a hack! Good news!

[inkytwist.livejournal.com]

I get random weird /russion spam comments on VERY VERY OLD posts on my deadjournal, which weirds me out.

[nefariousgrey.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I got some weird ass russian stuff in a few years back: something random about a university. Nothing ever came from it, so I wouldn't worry too much.

[mercat.livejournal.com]

From the basis of the other two comments my guess is you have a similar thing going on to what I do, though I have no idea what it actually is.

I have a public entry from several months ago that I keep getting short, positive, anonymous comments on, all with different IPs... So no idea what it's about, but I keep getting them. It's rather bizarre.

[mercat.livejournal.com]

...And by two comments there are now a total of ten comments, so "on the basis of all the comments before mine in which it is translated as 'interesting'"

[darkflame173.livejournal.com]

I've been getting a rash of Russian users friending me lately. Most of them have ended up suspended, so I'm not worrying too much. Still gets on my nerves big time though.

[gina-r-snape.livejournal.com]

That's happening to me as well. I've had maybe 12 Russian accounts friended in the past 2 months, and all of them are deleted within a day or two.

[goonie-freak.livejournal.com]

SO they can read english but can't reply in it? weird.

[z-k.livejournal.com]

oh, they can. But they just don't want to.

[sigma7.livejournal.com]

I've found a pretty good run-down of the Russian 'bots here (http://nympholept.livejournal.com/283620.html). Reason to be wary, yes, especially after what befell copperbadge, but I wouldn't panic. (Though a quick backup to LJArchive (http://fawx.com/software/ljarchive/) might be called for.) I'm still sifting through my comments and trying to separate the legit comments from Cyrillic noise....

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm LJArchiving as we speak. I've been doing it a bit more frequently since the copperbadge thing. My only problem is that I heard some rumor that LJ's servers occasionally eat/drop older entries, so I'm afraid to delete previous LJA downloads. So now I've got way too many clogging up my hard drive.

[angelene.livejournal.com]

Um, but aren't these bots/spammer accounts um fundamentally innocuous, in a uh spammerish kind of way? I mean, they cannot uh delete your journal just by commenting on it, can they? Or uh something?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

No, no. I was just afraid that the comment was a prelude to some kind of actual hacking.

[foresthouse.livejournal.com]

Did you see my panicked post on SF about the icon-swap on my journal? It seems to be unrelated to Russians, and it reverted to normal, but I'm still paranoid that it's more than a Glitch in the Matrix. *worries*

I backed everything up yesterday.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I could see that just being a weird server glitch.

[madeline-may.livejournal.com]

Hurrmm... what happened to copperbadge?

I is new.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

He got hacked, and his entire journal deleted.

[janetlin.livejournal.com]

интересна = interesting. Gotta love Russian for the lack of articles and a present tense of "to be."

[jdotmi.livejournal.com]

There are russian spambots out there trying to farm email addresses from LJ user info pages. Could be one of those.

[kethlenda.livejournal.com]

They're some kind of spambot. Info here (http://nympholept.livejournal.com/tag/russian+bots).

[all-ephemera.livejournal.com]

I guess now I need to suck it up and Archive both this and my other online diary. I hate to do it b/c I share a PC w/ my husband and there are some rants no husband should stumble across on the harddrive, y'know? *sigh*

[aerynvala.livejournal.com]

You could winzip or winrar the archive file and put a password on it. :D

Lurker on my 3rd or so comment here...
As you may well know by now, your Twilight recaps are beastly(in the best possible way!) and I feel you would like to see this link if no one's sent it to you already:
http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/ yeah, scroll down to the 2nd picture of today's (10/15) entry. Remind you of anything?

Sorry if I've violated any sort of linking rules...just making the blog rounds while avoiding the paper I have due and am very excited when they match up...

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Remind you of anything?

That... that ain't right.

[dm7dragonfyre.livejournal.com]

I take russian!

It means "interesting"

i know you alreayd know. but still. couldn't resist pimping that I am proabbly the only person who knows russian

[robinmc.livejournal.com]

First off: stupid Russian spambot thingy.

I read A Tale of Two Kates. Lurve.

Then I went back and read some of your other rants that you'd linked to. Your rant on children in movie theatres - I am right there with you. It's one of the main reasons I barely go to the movies anymore.

[sabra-n.livejournal.com]

If you think the commenter is a spam journal, just report it- I reported a spam journal that friended me and it was deleted within a couple of days.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've deleted the comment, banned the account and reported it.

[z-k.livejournal.com]

probably a bot, because it should be "интереснo" and it would mean "interesting" as you already know, but even in Russia people usually do not comment with simple "интереснo".
In case you would ever receive a +1 ( as in you write an lj entry/lj comment and get a +1), it would mean the commenter agrees with your opinion and gives you.. a +1 :D

Twilight

[bella-stella78.livejournal.com]

Sorry to hear about the creepy post! I'm sure it's nothing. Based on the amount of comments you get daily, lots of people read your blog (I'm a recent reader) so you're bound to get a few crazies now and then.
Here are some pictures that will cheer you up. Go here:

Re: Twilight

[thinktank8326.livejournal.com]

...and to think they were worried about his chest hair.

[mysticowl.livejournal.com]

It's misspelled/typoed to boot. It should have an О on the end, not an А. Having an А on the end makes it grammatically correct only in a fairly rare instance, and it certainly can't be used as a stand-alone word. Which means it's either a fake-Russian bot, or a Russian who can't spell. The plot, it thickens.
