Blog review section, merry place for spam

The IndiBlogger forum is now a read-only archive. Every public discussion is still here to read, but new topics and replies are closed.

Indipolice is busy with ssp on main page only. Blog review section people spam with simple comment "nice blog, and their own blog link below. Is it allowed. If it should be checked then I would like to draw attention of Indipolice here.

Good thread - Rio. If your or anyone observe such threads, please post here - we can go and delete the respective comments if we find them to SSP

@Rio - That's a 4 year old post which has suddenly got a new life. 

Gaurab

Just curious - who actually removes these links ? What's the procedure? and where to complain?

RioZee
from Out of this yEt in this World |

Indipolice does it @gaurab. You can report anthing like that by email or report tab.

I think it needs a thorough screening. Most threads will be laced with such spams.

RioZee
from Out of this yEt in this World |

I see most threads having these ssp links. I think either indi should exempt it from ssp, or it will be very tough cleaning the mess.

TF Carthick
from Bangalore |

Well Rio - no one has time to go through all the review threads. If anyone finds and complaints here, we can remove. That is the best that can be done.

Definitely can't exempt main forums.

Gaurab
from New Delhi |

Suggestion - All the threads in the review section which are more than a year old can be locked as I think that person won't be looking for reviews even after one year. What's your opinion ?

RioZee
from Out of this yEt in this World |

Can't say on this. A review whenever I get, i will surely welcome it.

I dont think posting links in Blog Review Section is SSP or spamming. The section, for one, does not have enough visibility as such and secondly people who dont want to start a seperate thread asking for reviews are the one posting links there. So, In effect it reduces the number of threads in the section as well. IMHO

RioZee
from Out of this yEt in this World |

Ssp is in the replies to the review thread. Like many opt to write " nice blog, and a link to their own blog" this looks bad and is ssp.

Narasimha Sharma Veturi
from Hyderabad |

The Blog Review section is meant for asking reviews. How does it matter whether it was asked in a new thread or in one of the replies of an existing thread?

Gaurab
from New Delhi |

Seems like a valid point. It's something like a community pool in Wordpress.com where you can share your links and ask for reviews. *Valid only for wordpress.com blogs*

RioZee
from Out of this yEt in this World |

May be, but it should be official. Then people can freely post link of their blog then.

Gaurab
from New Delhi |

I think indiblogger should allow it officially. It will be more like community review thing which is also present in wordpress.com

PS - I have never asked for a review so there is nothing persnal in it just a general suggestion.

Gaurab

If the reveiwer asks for a review in the same thread (in blog reveiew section) will it be considered as spam or ssp ?

TF Carthick
from Bangalore |

You have your own review thread. You can't go and ask review for your blog in someone else's thread. 

Gaurab
from New Delhi |

Though I have never asked for review but I think this info will be helpful for the people who are asking for the review in those thread.
