TENNIS SPAM
So far today one person has created (I think, I'm dizzy from counting) 48 new blogs to sell tennis tickets. They may not have finished yet. 48 turds in our community. On each I've left a tag asking people not to buy from these guys. None of my tags have been deleted because, once created, these guys are NEVER going to check back in, respond, be part of the community.
When a new site/page goes up google hits on it quick and it gets rated highy, it quickly drops off again until the page's true credentials are established. This 'blooger'/salesman will be high on google now, will sell tickets.
You can verify how much they've done today by going to the new homepage, click on the countries at the bottom where it says 'unspecified' and you'll find all these newly created 'blogs'.

I AM TENNIS COW: RECLAIMING THE PAGES FOR REAL BLOGGERS!!!!

I think I've found a blog not featured here (honest, I've looked up your archives). Its called 'Mrs Claytons' Clueless Chronicles' where someone pretends to be an old woman living in a fictional village. It is completely and wonderfully insane:

http://mrsclaytons.bravejournal.com/

If you're mad you'll love it (I did!)

If it's already been posted here I'm going to eat my own leg {limp, limp}

Haze Queen, I understand what you're getting at - and I did visit your site. The problem is that while the intention is good, every time someone posts something at the offending blog, that counts as a hit. These blog creators don't care if they have hits or not; as you said, they post once and never return. So what's the point of giving them hits? It's the hits that alert the search engine bots - it's activity, right?

In my opinion, the best thing to do is to copy the URLs of these blogs, note the names, and send them to Bravenet so the staff can delete them. I hear what you're saying, and I have to agree with you that they're taking up valuable space...

Thanks, Hazel! I don't recall seeing that blog before; I'm going to check it out right now.

WOW,I am the owner of the WONDERFUL LIFE blog up there.I never imagined that my blog will be featured somewhere like this.I thank you very much.Someone came and visit me and told me that my blog is feature here.I have always thought of abandoning my bravenet account but I just couldn't.I have made efforts there and I love it.

Once again,thank you very very much.Take care!
