Looks like N.YC got its first spammer!

If I could just be a touch sycophantic for a second: I'm actually REALLY impressed at how good News.YC is at deflecting spammers. I have a super low-traffic blogger blog and I see more spam there than I see on Hacker News.

I don't know how well news.yc deflects spam, but there are admins behind the scenes who delete spam before it's widely seen.

Yep, not the first. There's also the GIMAD dude: http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=GIMAD

not the first, there was a whole discussion about.... ipodchick? (I think that was the name)

I think that the fact that so many have said "YC got it's first spammer" so many times, is such a good testament to how fast spammers are dealt with. Thanks!

cris2cool is definitely not the first! (nor the last)

They've just been doing a good job keeping spammers at bay.

Jokingly voted them up.

Ha. Michigan vacations? I didn't know there was such a thing. Next they'll be spamming time shares in West Virginia.

Next they'll be offering Eastern Washington vacations.

Come for the sagebrush, stay for the irradiated rattle snakes.
