Return of the Stupid Spammer

Tagged as:

I received this comment tonight:

've just registered at the forum. This is my first message.
Please don't become angry about me.
Thank you.

The thing is, I didn't get this on my forum. I got it on a blog post about forums.

Spammers are idiots. And they'll stop at nothing to infest your websites with their garbage. Remember, if you get emails and such like this, delete their accounts. And make sure you're running the latest versions of the software. And watch out for users with .ru email addresses. It seems that most spammers use emails with that country code. My spammer's email came from @yandex.ru. (And to those .ru users who don't spam, I'm sorry. But your compatriots who spam are a bunch of jackasses.
