Russian comments (2)

Thanks to all of the commenters explaining the odd Russian comment that I’d gotten on my blog. The bike maps entry also attracted two more: one saying “Что-то такое слышал, но не так подробно, а откуда материал брали?” and the other “Просто спасибо, за красивые мысли вслух” — from the same IP address, with links to sites whose quality I cannot immediately judge. Regardless of the content — these seem to be plausible but meaningless comments to make — I’m going to have to regard them as comment spam. If anyone wants (dares!) to take a look at oleg dot soviet union or 24types dot russia, be my guest.

Let’s assume that this little episode has one positive effect: I’ll take my teach-yourself-Russian books down from the bookshelf and read them again.

    “Что-то такое слышал, но не так подробно, а откуда материал брали?”

    “Просто спасибо, за красивые мысли вслух”

    Well, this is diffidently spam messages.
    I’ve deleted tens of them on knotes.ru when we were using standard WordPress comment system and until we moved to disqus.com

    Main profit of such comments is the link in “Website” field - kind of cheap SEO.

    Literal translation:

    “Что-то такое слышал, но не так подробно, а откуда материал брали?” — “I’ve heard something like this, but not in as much detail, where did you get this material?”

    “Просто спасибо, за красивые мысли вслух” — “Simply thank you for beautiful thoughts outloud”

    These seem like genuine comments, but posted on the wrong blog. I would guess some blogger out there used your site as a template for their own and didn’t change the [submit comment] URL.

    Those comments are grammatically correct and even not complete bogus, but still quite unnatural to say. So yes, definitely, it’s spam. BTW, the sites are about some alternative psychology.
    Cheers from Russia.

    24types dot ru is antiscience bullshit, something related to socionics (you can look up it wikipedia).

    oleg dot su is a personal site with some of content related to socionics as well, in fact it is the biggest tag there.

    And both of them definitely not related to software, KDE or programming, so it’s 99% spam.
