Alright, what's up with the influx in Russian Bot journals adding my LJ? Anyone else getting a whole bunch of new invites? In one day I got 13 bot journals, today another 2.

No it isn't!!!! You're silly. I can guarantee it isn't that. Besides, dragons eat russian bots.

If you add them back they take the info out of your private posts and put them in their journal. So if you have phone numbers or anything listed, they get them. I don't know what the point is, but they want you to add them back.
If you hover over the usericon or the little blue guy next to their username, click on the option to report bot. I do that everytime and so far most of them have been deleted/suspended.

Just report the name and ban them (which can also be done by the hover thing) and you're fine. I haven't heard of a need to change passwords or anything (unless you have it in your journal somewhere), so that's all you need to do and you're fine.

I had a link to more information but I cannot find it currently. :( Sorry.
