   Even I got a comment from Idetrorce today. I deleted it cause it didn’t make any sense.

   [...] the article there. Intregiued, I did a quick search and “Idetrorce” and came up with the following:http://angryseafood.com/2007/12/15/who-is-idetrorce/http://digg.com/comedy/Who_is_IdetrorceNow, interestingly I’ve got the same email as some of the [...]

   Fair question Angry Angel. No I am not Idetrorce.

   Originally I was going to talk about that but it didn’t fit in the post right. This morning I checked my email and on one of the sites I am subscribed to as far as comments is plooptionary.com where Idetrorce posted a comment.

   I thought nothing of it until a few hours later when another comment from our friend showed up at Radioactive Liberty, which I am a contributor of. That was weird I thought, so I googled it and found a bunch of other blogs and sites where Idetrorce was commenting, all the same reply.

   The idea for the post was on and no I am not Idetrorce. The reason why this post and the Digg submission shows up in the google search is because I made sure to SEO-up the post a bit.

   I got one of these today too on my wordpress blog. I had a similar post a few months back with a pot in a another language from an “AnferTuto” posting “Hola faretaste mekodinosad”. That name and phrase return 1000’s of Google results on heaps of different sites. Same kind of weird message, no website link.

   What I don’t get is the message I got here in the first comment is not Idetrorce because it is missing the name in the comment like the others. Of all places that should have an official Idetrorce comment it should be the blog post that talks about it.

   I feel slighted.

   He got me too. But then again, so did some guy talking about “Britney Spears vcr pagoda mistletoe” and about 200 other randomly interwoved words.

   Here’s MY take on it. If I were writing auto-posting software because I was going to start spamming the universe with garbage posts (Lord knows we could use a couple more of those, right?) it would be nice to know which blog posts were more quickly picked up by Google.

   This way, when I have some new site to spam the world about, I can make sure to focus my barrage on those sites which have a high visibility.

   In order to figure this out, all the spammer has to do is scan for that phrase and name in Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc. and find out which sites to spam to.

   I certainly hope those affected sites delete their entries by this “guy”, otherwise the spam storm will likely be coming their way.

   Very interesting. He has just commented my blog too, with the same text.
   How does he found my blog?…

    Yes I started to notice this too, and blogged it under

    Got hit on an old, old Live Journal account of mine but one I still have a counter on.
    Here’s Idetrorce according to the stats:

    Here’s from a wordpress blog of mine:

    Author : Idetrorce (IP: 24.11.172.77 , c-24-11-172-77.hsd1.mi.comcast.net)
    E-mail : idetrorce@mymail-in.net

    Comment:

    Idetrorce

    Since Michigan isn’t near France, maybe…a) It’s a bot / virus b) It’s someoen using TOR / proxy sites c) He travels a lot

    I’m going with the bot testing mentioned above.

    Same here on my wordpress:

    Comment:

    Idetrorce

    That was this morning. I ended up deleting it because it didn’t make sense.. then i googled the odd name. Glad to know I’m not alone.. ???

14. by Sally, on December 16 2007 @ 1:43 pm

    

    Ha! I just got hit too. What’s the point of spamming if you don’t link it to something? delete!

15. by SDF_of_BC, on December 16 2007 @ 2:34 pm

    

    I just got the same comment on my LJ: 81.226.255.41

    Either it’s a bot, or a very very sad lonely person, or both.

    Something else to delete. :/

16. by Patrick, on December 16 2007 @ 6:48 pm

    

    I just got a message too from “idetrorce” with the same message. It didn’t make any sense in the context so I searched the name. He signed my guestbook with “very interesting, but I don’t agree with you”. haha

17. by Karen Eaton, on December 16 2007 @ 7:46 pm

    

    Idetrorce just hit me today too. Fortunately, when I hit Askimet’s “recheck for spam” in my comment moderation it identified it as spam.

18. by ChrisC, on December 16 2007 @ 8:47 pm

    

    Thanks everyone for stopping by and commenting with your thoughts, theories, etc. I’m compiling them together for a follow up post Monday (tommorow).

19. by Donna B., on December 16 2007 @ 9:38 pm

    

    Does this mean you are ldetrorce? Or is it spam? Anxiously awaiting reply.

20. by ChrisC, on December 16 2007 @ 9:43 pm

    

    And you get a reply quickly, as I am on here working on tommorow’s post.

    Again, I am not Idetrorce. I really wish I came up with the idea, but I simply am the one who broke the story of the commenter.

    And since people are onto something like this I couldn’t do it even if I wanted to. It would be like trying to do another ‘Sixth Sense’ or ‘Borat’ or get someone who hasn’t heard of OJ to be on the jury.

21. by ChrisC, on December 16 2007 @ 10:15 pm

    

    hmm most of the blogs hit are LJ or wordpress. The Wordpress angle could be due to the Bad Behavior plug-in not working right. LJ I don’t know much about. Maybe there is a recent software glitch allowing these kind of spam comments past any filters that are usually blocking them.

    Just throwing that out there. My real theory publishes Monday afternoon.

    [...] This looked strangely like no other spam, curiosity won, and I decided to Google for it. Turns out, Idetrorce is a force of nature. [...]

    My Askimet caught him, but when I Googled his name thinking it was another fake I found this confirming.

24. by ChrisC, on December 17 2007 @ 7:19 am

    

    I just accidentally deleted someone’s comment here while cleaning up spam. I have no idea who’s comment it was but I apologize for the error. Sorry

    I have posted a warning to fellow bloggers after Ideltrorce left a comment on my Wordpress site, Reportage Thailand.

    Bizarre. I got spammed by “Idetrorce” on 12/15/2007. This instance was noted as a reply to my final entry upon retiring Dopeless HOPE Fiend. I’m not interested enough yet to pursue any info re: logged IP address. That could change…

27. by ChrisC, on December 18 2007 @ 12:51 am

    

    What I find funny is how nervous many people got from this idetrorce thing.

28. by Aphra Behn, on December 18 2007 @ 3:06 am

    

    Mine’s another wordpress blog that got hit. The bot testing idea makes sense to me, though it could be Douglas Adams’ white mice doing fantastically elegant behavioural experiments on human beings to see how we react.

    I also got another linkless spam post this weekend:

    gdf | s422 at mailinator dot com | IP: 92 dot 112 dot 166 dot 163

    fgsdf dfhdf

    I had left them in place for the surreality of the thing, but they were so very obviously spam that I googled, and here I am.

    Thanks for the commentary.

    I got a comment from this person on my blog a few nights ago, too! I marked it off as spam but now I’m not so sure.. you guys think we’re on the verge of an Idetrorce invasion?

    There could be sleeper cells all around the world just waiting for the signal.

30. by ChrisC, on December 19 2007 @ 3:31 am

    

    You could be right Rob. Maybe it is terrorists.

    I too have been bit by the idetrorce creature, who had the temerity to disagree with me on my own blog. I have also been receiving an increasing amount of bogus comments linking to not much of anything.

    I think idetrorce is a bored but disagreeable alien entity, sent to earth to teach us the value of junk correspondence.

    Clearly, we need to change our thinking on this.

    Help align our sphere with the cosmos, sing with me:

    “Every Spam is precious
    Every Spam is good
    Every Spam can be clicked
    If you only would.”

    A few dozen rounds of that ditty and I think we’ll be ready for enlightenment.
