dewlineSome...person...decided to try to vandalize the two LJ communities I started up from scratch with some kind of video spam today: ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
ottawa_sf and viarail_fandom. I do not know, and do not want to know what sort of video it was.
I've deleted the attempts and filed a spambot report with the LJ authorities. It is my hope that, given this fact and the knowledge that the same...person...has attempted to similarly harm other LJ community blogs and many of those communities' administrators will likely be filing their own spambot reports(or possibly invoking harsher measures by LJ management), this will soon be the end of the matter.
Thank you,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bunsen_h, for alerting me to the problem.
In the meantime, I'd like to take the opportunity accidentally given me to remind LJ users visiting here of the existence of these two communities:
ottawa_sf is set up for speculative fiction fans and pros alike, dealing in all media forms and all subgenres, in the Ottawa-Gatineau region of Canada. La francophonie du "sci-fi" est bienvenue aussi!
viarail_fandom is for fans of passenger rail services across Canada, past and present. I originally started it to focus on VIA Rail in particular, but after reflection it seemed wrong to leave out the provincial and regional/municipal services also operating across Canada. Encore: la francophonie est bienvenue aussi!
Hoping you're well and that we get past this particular Pain in short order!
