I wonder. I've seen folks leave Blogger for WordPress, and we also see folks leave WordPress for Blogger.

I had one bud who got his blog TOSsed by WordPress with no warning.

I guess it depends upon how spammy your blog is.

Does this kind of stuff happen with WordPress?

OK, now I need a word. What term was used, completely rude and superficial, to describe the first reject who left the circle in anguish or disappointment?

Anybody here was in one of those societies, who can remember any such terms?

Bear in mind that this is probably the tip of the iceberg only. The big spammers simply don't worry about getting their blogs back, because they publish 10 for every 1 that is used for spam, at any time. So as soon as one goes offline, they activate another and they are back in business.

Have you ever gotten 2 spam messages in 1/2 hour? That's an automated, robust spam delivery mechanism in action.

Ignorance, or semi ignorance, would be a lame excuse, but still possible. We note that Alan Ralsky, a well known spammer from 2000 - 2005, called himself a "Internet marketing consultant" or some horseshit title. No doubt some of our sploggers will be waiting, even through next Friday, to hear from Gatsby.

Are you saying that there are people who don't know that they are sploggers? That is, is Blogger cutting so deep into the splog that people who are just doing a pathetic job of using their blogs for self-promotion are being caught?

Well, I will remain optimistic. What else can a little mini car do??

Thanks, Dogimo. Sometimes, the stories write themselves. I wish it was this easy every week.

Jill, you are the other side of the coin. Ever been in a little car, on an expressway, in the midst of a bunch of big trucks? That's where you are, right now. You are in a mini car, trying to stay on the road, with hundreds of big trucks blowing past you.

Now, we will see how Blogger handles the false positives. I'm not optimistic.

Thanks nitecruzer. I will stand here blind-folded waiting for the tap, cuz I know I'm not a splogger. I guess I could look at it this way, of the millions of blogs out there, Blogger chose MINE to block. lol. There's always an up side. :)

That was one neatly tied-in analogy, sir. As much as the first scenario galls, the second, when you bring it home, is exactly that satisfactory.
