The Party of Crooks and Thieves seems to have gotten seriously rattled and allocated an extra budget to neutralize my cozy little blog.
New bots are showing up in the comments instantly. Each one has unique text and a unique userpic. Some of them even have a couple of journal entries. Interestingly, most of the bots were registered on October 22, 2010. This gives us a general idea of how the Kremlin crooks are planning to "counteract things online when the critical moment comes." Interesting. It’s still unclear how to fight these bots, but we’ll come up with something. For now, my apologies to everyone for the absolute hell in the comments.
