We're in the zone now in Site Updates

Hey everyone,
Wanted to share an update on how everything’s going with the new spam tools that were rolled out a few weeks ago.
In short: we got ‘em!
This is super exciting!!! Going from where we were just a few months ago with two front pages full of spammers in a single day to.. what, one or two a week? Maybe? The front page is SO NICE lately.
As the guy with the responsibility of managing that front page, I gotta say:
That. Feels. GREAT!
How lovely it is to post a site update with happy news rather than a damage report of some kind.
Now, all that said, I’m sure you may have noticed one or two stragglers slip through our net over the last little bit. One even showed up this morning, and — to be totally transparent — I laughed so hard at their incredibly dumb username that I was compelled to write this entry. They also happened to provide an excellent example of the kind of weirdness I see from some of these stragglers.
Alright, without further ado, let’s take a peek at the entire posting history of..
TEETH ZONE
(lol I just can’t)
Anyway, their first few entries are in March and May of last year, about two months apart:
Okay, two entries posted two months apart. That’s a pattern. Let’s see what happens next:
Hmm, now it’s two entries in the same month and one a month after.. on a random date.
What next?
Oh dang, three in a week! That’s an escalation, surely they’ll spam like crazy now.
NOPE! They waited until today, a full 8 months later! What the actual hell.
So, there you go. A perfect illustration of the how it’s close to impossible to catch 100% of the spammers with the automated tools we’ve built. But hey, one or two a week is wayyyy better than it was! I’ll take it.
And with that, I’ll leave you with a king on his throne:
Pour one out for Teeth Zone.
<3,
-J

It's always amazed me how these spammers work so hard for nothing. I just can't imagine them able to make money this way. I mean, has anyone on this site ever purchased anything from these spammers? I bet you they haven't!

"Hey nice teeth zone you've got there"
"What, you mean my mouth? Thanks, and uhh... your denticle cave is nice too."
Nice work shredding the spam! At least the stragglers aren't all fake market research in Japanese.

First, let me say, AWESOME WORK FOLKS.
Second, and this is a serious question...
Is it possible that a company could use this site as an official blogging site? I'm remembering that George R.R. Martin uses LiveJournal as his blogging site (he links to it off his web page) and I'm wondering if this would be considered spam, or if it would be a legitimate use of the site.

Mochi is love. Mochi is life.
Kudos to getting rid of the spammers.

Found this spammer today: emilylees
They don't post often so they appear to be one of the ones that are more difficult to catch :)

A moment of silence of Teeth Zone.

Got 'em! Thank you for your hard work!
Rocknroll Wife ⋅ July 19, 2023
They're posting comments with keywords on public entries! I guess I'll make my entries "members only" or "comments hidden" from now on to kill their efforts.
