I appear to have a new Russian, or at least slavic, friend following my journal, who judging from his userpics is really into Lilo & Stitch and girl's wiggly bottoms.

kikibug13 do you think you coudl translate to Cryllic a bit for me so I know whether this is a troll or not?

Whoops Linky.

Heh. Troll.

Babelfish knows all.

OK, not really. But it does enough to let me see troll droppings like this.

Hmph. He doesn't seem to be a troll, though he wouldn't be somebody I'd friend... and he really doesn't post anything in English. But the content seems to be, just a random Ukranian who blogs.

Okay thanks, Kiki. I appreciate that. I'll have to decide whether banalate him or not now.

I've had a few of these turn up over time. If you ignore them they go away.

Yeah, same here. And I've had one friend complain about them, and in the comments to that post someone else mentioned that they've had several friends complain about them. So it looks like it's just gradually spreading. It's to the point now that when someone I'm not familiar with friends me, I know I'm going to be seeing Cyrillic before I even click the name.

I have had the same happen...they tend to wander off in a few days.

They're scraper accounts. They lift your content and dump it on a wordpress blog.
