Over at Google Blogspot, there’s a joker near-cloning every good-sized web address he can get hold of. He may work for Google (they being heavily into Doing Good an’ all) but frankly you have me confused with someone who gives a sh*t.
He is using the ‘call sign’ nbyslog.blogspot.com, which spookily enough is a meld of my Twitter and WordPress identities. Anyway, it isn’t me. I’m at hat4uk.wordpress.com, and the use of John Ward The Slog in Google search will get me first every time.
Anyone desirous of sending him lots of rude threads should feel free so to do. This is not me encouraging illegality: it must remain entirely a matter for you. This unpleasant cross between a grub and a virus is also doing nothing illegal. For some reason that combo reminds me of Jeremy *unt, but I can’t imagine why.

It’s just a boring spammer trying to push banner ads and surveys. He seems to be grabbing multiple identities, at least I can find multiple copies of the “blogs” content under different names. The content is just generic stuff – so he’s not copying any of the actual content on this site. I traced one of the links through and it looks like the affiliate network he’s trying to use is not paying out at the moment – so hopefully he’s just wasting his time.
The content is much better here!

2,000 of them I believe. And they will be civil servants proper, not the wider public sector workforce. Surely there are few better examples of the progressive deterioration in standards of honesty and integrity that is sweeping the political and Establishment elites in recent years.

Agreed. It’s a splog.

There are lots of them. 1 in 5 of all blogs?
Quote:
Splogs have become a major problem on free blog hosts such as Google’s Blogger service. By one estimate, about one in five blogs are spam blogs.[8] These fake blogs waste valuable disk space and bandwidth as well as pollute search engine results, ruining blog search engines and damaging bloggers community networking (e.g. Blogger’s next blog link).
Splogs sometimes choose a name similar to a popular blog in order to benefit from the occasional incoming link from careless bloggers, who think they are linking to the popular site.

@zoompad: You’re right. Over on Usenet Groups, there are looney Googlers who post garbage, libelous trash and off topic drivel using other peoples’ posting names (ie forgeries). Victims send thousands of complaints to GoogleGroups but Google takes no action. Google’s run by a bunch of misfits determined to make money at any cost. They’re worse than Microsoft – if that’s possible. All IMHO :-)

Well it certainly stopped you in your tracks, whatever sewer cover you appeared from under.

Think, and reflect on your actions. Are they genuine and in an open and honest manner, or underhand and dirty? You know the answer well enough.
