My old Thursday Thumb-Twiddler meme blog is being left up as something of a honey-pot for comment bloggers. I get a number of posts each day left there, most of which are of the standard type (laundry lists of pr0n sites).
Over the past few days, I’ve noticed something a bit sneakier — site name that look normal, but which are, in fact, self-forwarding sites or gateways to pr0n sites of various sorts. If I didn’t know that the posts going there are likely spam, if they weren’t clustered together, and I didn’t actually check some of them out, I might pass them by. Especially since they are embedding the URL in the URL field, and posting with an innocuous “Mine are up!” body.
As it is, they get sighted, reported, and zapped. Huzzah!
