I'm somewhat confused by these recent comments to the bug tracker (tickets 3514520, 3514538, 3514563). There appears to be a spambot out there that just enters non-descript compliments into web forms.
Who would write such a thing? I thought spambots were created for phishing scams, selling fake products, or boosting link counts to unscrupulous websites (which are motivations I can understand even if I disagree with them). This one appears to have no purpose at all except to provide encouragement to bloggers. It's just weird.

Maybe it tries to inject javascript for xss (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting) or php or mysql to be eventually executed on the server? Or we're just being malicious ;)
