Anyone out there speak Russian?

Someone just left a comment on my journal in Russian.

I'd like to know whether it's spam or not. Any suggestions?

EDIT: Cheers for the advice. Have deleted it as spam.

My translator came up with:

it was pleased

[vobshcheto ] not all correctly you described:)


Their own LJ posts don't seem spammish when translated, but don't make 100% sense either. If they're spam, they suck at it. They post no links, and have no friends. Unsure what to make of it...

damn, beat me to it :)

Links are all hidden using CSS- search engines will see them, we won't.

babelfish gives:
"[vobshcheto] not all correctly you described"

???

Google Translate isn't helping...

I'm hazarding, "I like your links but they are not all correct"?

Broken all the links there.

It's spam. If it's in Russian, delete and mark as spam, replies in a language not of the post are pretty close to be guaranteed spam, but the hidden links in there are tricky.

Suspect LJ might do a code change to strip display:none from comments fairly soon.

Google Translate?

I should really check the comments before posting ... :-(

It's spam. No shadow of a doubt about it. The usual type from Russian LJ adbot accounts; easy enough to block.

Definitely spam. Look at the source, it's got a link in there hidden so that it doesn't display to the user. Delete/Ban/Report.

I'd treat it as spam even without the other signs; the poster's profile shows a new account with no Friends listed and no Communities followed other than the stock 3 you get when signing in, and he/she/it is posting to old journal entries with comments that don't relate to the contents. Those are key spammer indictators.

-- Steve's dealt with such posts before, sadly.
