This poster is CONSTANTLY spamming Usenet newsgroups. He consistently
changes the name he uses for each new post, making it (intentionally)
impossible for us to filter out his posts.

I believe he does this simply to generate traffic for his blog,
attempting to drive advertising by increasing his hits.

I'm sure he's in violation of your T&C. Would you kindly investigate?

Live simply so that others may simply live

Blogspot makes direct contact with any sort of administrator virtually
impossible. However, I have dinked around with their site, and have
established a user account there. Using that account, I was able to
send the following message to their helpdesk (you can only do it via a
submission form...no e-mail address supplied):

I am an active participant in Usenet, specifically rec.bicycles.tech.
This newsgroup has been subject to daily (often, several times per day)
bouts of spam from a blogspot user advertising
http://highracers.blogspot.com. Examples are as follows:
http://tinyurl.com/dyn5p
http://tinyurl.com/bmznp
http://tinyurl.com/abqd7

Although the content of this blog is objectionable, and may violate the
AUP terms vis-a-vis stalking/harassing, it is the spamming of Usenet
that concerns me, and several other posters, the most. Please take any
steps you deem necessary.

Thank you,
SYJ

Perhaps if any other posters with blogspot accounts could do likewise,
we could put this moron to rest. It may also be possible to send a
similar email directly to google support, as they are Blogspot's parent
entity.

Just got a canned e-mail from blogger support - you may e-mail them
directly at [email hidden] (how'd I not see that one coming).

If one looks at the blog and its entries, one will see that there is no
advertising involved. The blog in question appears to be a PARODY of
real people and organizations. In addition, the blog references Usenet
postings about it in its new entries.

I am pointing this out due to my pedantic nature.

You are correct, but the hits he so vociferously touts are usually
only of interest for either "bragging" rights (?) or attempts to lure
advertisers. I suspect his motives are pecuniary (that's for you
using the word 'pedantic'😉 :-)

Either that or he's just a [censored]. Could be. Don't know.

I think Neil's suspicion is incorrect. I suspect that the blog and
posts are new phase in something that has been going on for about 4
years now. Imagine rival troops of monkeys flinging poo at each other.

If the actual authors of the blog are ever identified, their
credibility will only be measurable in huge negative humbers. The
apparent target of their poo-flinging does not seem to be a loutish
lot, and I haven't seen or found a single indication that they deserve
such venom. OTOH, if the blog is a misguided attempt to bring them
notoriety on the theory that "there's no such thing as bad news, and
shlock gets noticed much more than accurate reportage", then it's
neither working nor safe. The linkage factor is weak (if you aren't
aware of the identity of the blog's apparent target, you'll have to
dig quite a bit to find them) and the quality of the blog under
discussion would be an embarassment to anyone with whom it was
factually associated.

I'm of the opinion that it's a lame attempt at becoming the next
goatse via what they see as over-the-top satire; what it actually
achieves is boringly pre-sophomoric in its under-the-bottom choice of
attempts at being funny.
