First spam by an open id user. Which LJ can't do anything against, if I see this correctly. You can just ban them, which sucks.

You can delete it, though, right?

Yes, but I don't want to get them in the first place.
I guess I have to go back to disallowing anonymous comments (as openids are treated as such).

Yes there doesn't seem to be anything LJ can do.

I've got two people on my list who have friended me that as far as I can see aren't real journals at all - just egits who clog up stuff. I post everything on my LJ as a friends only post so that I don't have people spamming me.

It is very sucky.

Hmm.

Yes , I was looking at the spam and the fact that aol users can now auth to LJ withopenid is the issue.

What there needs to be is a way to ban openid by domain/subdoamin from comment on your journal .

That way we could ban aol.com.

It's not a perfect solution, but it is a start - particualey if LJ maintains some domains lists so you can also include domains other LJ users have marked as belonging to spammers.

How does it differ from spam from non open id users?

The spam itself isn't any different but you can't complain to LJ about the spammer.

Well you can and maybe they'll work on the per-domain blocking. But you can also complain to AOL as that has to be a real AOL account, I'd have thought?
