Oh, Rich encourages us to report spammers via the blog, where the staff and Community Leaders can see them right away, and deal with them right away.
Comments
- Oh, I see. I thought it had something to do with the Lance Armstrong video.

There have been a lot of accounts created lately where users just post spam to their website in questions and answers. When users see one of these, they go to the blog, report it, and give the users account page. When the account is deleted, the person doing the deleting also deletes the link from the blog so people don't visit the user page.

- Thanks. It just looked funny seeing that video of Lance Armstrong and the comments underneath were about spam.

They used to leave the comments concerning spam and kids (under 14) in the blog. They've since begun to remove them once they're taken care of. It has nothing to do with Lance or his site.

When Demand Media began sponsoring his site, AB carried a banner at the top of the page to show support for the LIVEStrong site. The blog noted the association and included related info. So, while some of the blog carried comments about that, others carried info about spammers and kids, and other non-topical stuff (as per usual, around here! ;-) )

- Can you answer this person questions in the comment part. Not sure if I was right on this.

I think something should be changed on the AB Blog. For a person not in the know it looks like all those comments are talking about the Lance Armstrong video. Don't you?

Are all of the AB Blog comments read for sure?? I was going to write a lengthy one but would like to make sure it would be worth it?

Times have sure changed. On Feb. 28th we had a new AB blog. So far one comment. Have you read the blog? What do you think? Any comments?

On the AB blog, when I look one time there is 22 comments, the next day I look there are 19 comments, I didnt see a delete option in the blog, Am I missing it somewhere?

Have you taken the opportunity to read Lex Friedman's most recent entry on the AB Blog? (See right hand side of Home Page). IMO, the developments scheduled for Tuesday (12/8/09)and the thread comments are interesting and worthy of your attention.
