What bot? I only see normal spam.

Finding 20 journals in my notices all talking about bot made me think it's some sort of a prank, because effectively I've just been spammed by people warning me about spam. I thought for a moment someone was pulling my leg and the InkBunny community is either being funny today or there is a bot that's posting the journals for them. But I see a system message at the top, so looks like I've just been pranked into thinking I was being pranked.

Oh man, I am contributing to the spam by writing this. Oh well, it's all in good fun. Turn the bad things happening upside down and have a laugh at them, it helps! :)

PS. I'm not gonna include any advice on what to do, because there's already a million journals explaining that for ya. ;)
PS2. This is not a serious journal, it's late here and I'm just amusing myself with silly reactions to the situation. :D I should probably just go to sleep! Don't kill me! :P

4300 new accounts and a rampant comment spree about how you should visit www.suspiciouslink.com/post/givemeyourbankinfo.html to read their stories, see their pics ectect.

I have barely any submissions in my gallery and even I got two separate spambots linking to a highly suspicious website. So I can guarantee you it's not a prank.
I immediately deleted their comments, reported the accounts, and banned them from my account.

IB probably had all the comments made by them deleted before you got back here.
I did notice & delete 5 of them yesterday, so it was happening.

They were coming from new accounts that had a noticeable naming pattern like (common woman name)+(random 2 digit number)+( random 2 letters).
