Banning Serial Adders

[outofthecage.livejournal.com]

Not cereal adders, like I might have typed at first. >.>

Ahem. So, as many people who have kept their friending notifications active have noticed, there's been a rash of serial adders friending RPG journals over the past few days. It's not just us - this has been going on for players in a lot of other games too. Overall, this isn't something to worry about too much - LJ has been surprisingly on the ball about deleting these folks once people point them out to LJ Abuse. But, if you're finding that the journals just aren't going away as quickly as you'd like, you can go to the Admin Console and enter the following command:

ban_set <journal name>

where <journal name> is, obviously, the name of the serial adder's journal. This will prevent them from leaving comments on any entry you write, and will remove them from being listed on your profile. Ta da!

If you hover your mouse over the little person-shaped icon next to someone's LJ username and it brings up the context menu, there's also a "ban user" option there. :D

Oh, well that's just cheating. ;) I'll confess, I have the hover menu turned off because I didn't think there was anything useful in it. Now I know differently!

I'm curious ... on the Alanna journal, I've had several very WTF anon comments in the past few months. They're few and far between and the most that I get is very blinky (one was bitching about how I got the color of a minor character's hair wrong. okay.). But what I am wondering is, anyone else have an odd anon person stalking them?

I get anonymous spam comments once in a great while, but that's about it, I think . . . although I did have one a way back on ladycfitzgerald's journal that was just random squee. o.O
