silent_and_calm is running a script to friend all recent updaters. If you post to his journal, he's logging passwords. Change it immediately.

To ban:

Visit http://www.livejournal.com/admin/console/

Type in "ban_set silent_and_calm" (without quotes)

Thus ends today's PSA.

Current Mood: aggravated

um, please to forgive my dumb, but how do you know about logging passwords? how can you tell that someone does it? how can you tell that guy did so? Is there a master list somewhere of dipwads on LJ that I missed? I am not new to LJ but never know what the cool kids know, so help a sister out and explain to me please? *bats eyelashes, looks sweet*

I don't know anything about it, either. I checked out the guy's journal when I saw he friended me THREE times. He had 700 friends in a 5 hour old blog. I started reading through his comments and everyone was all, "Who are you?" etc. In a few places people explained what he was doing with the scripts thing, and two people said he was logging passwords and not to comment there. One of them posted a long comment with all the guy's information, to show how it's possible to get it. That's enough for me. 0_o I asked her how he could do that, but haven't heard back yet. Still, sketchy enough to pass on the word.

Whoa. That is scary. It is amazing how many losers are out there who just do stuff like that to give people a hard time.

I would really like to kick this guy in his balls.

Yikes! I'm glad I checked out your LJ after your comment in

mc_questionmark's LJ - that guy friended me the other day, and I did think it was odd. I didn't post in his LJ or anything, and didn't friend him back, but I figured I'd keep an eye out.

Thanks for posting the directions on how to ban that a$$hat!

My pleasure! Glad to know you gleaned a little knowledge from my corner of teh intarwebs. I didn't even know it was possible to ban folks, but with so damned many asshats running around, it's just good knowledge to share. ;)

PS: My blog is usually much cooler than repeated entries on why I love everyone, but I was attacked by a crazy meme bent on world domination.
