I notified Jeffrey. I can delete forum spam and ban users, and did already ban that guy, but I can't do anything with the blogs. Jeffrey or Nate will take care of it. Thanks.

This morning I counted about 5 - they are kind of taking over the blogs.

Yeah, new ones popped up this morning. They're kind of insidious. Most likely automated botnets. I ran into that in the past when I was a mod elsewhere.

It got so bad I had to resort to IP bans... but of course, I also had to be super careful, because I was using *.*s (asterisks dot asterisks), and once in a while, even *.*.*s after checking the IANA tables to see if it was safe to do so. Otherwise, they'll just keep coming.

Anyways, good luck!

Jeffrey,

Not to beat a dead horse or anything ... and I know you are pretty busy. But I'm getting really tired of seeing posts about Ugg boots from Elainebo. See link in my September 6 post. Is there any way you can authorize a few more people to get rid of the spam blogs so they don't fester for weeks?

Default and now the Jersey ad?

I've deleted the Jersey peddler from my blog responses, but I see he/she is still popping up elsewhere.
