Hi kevin,

Yeah i saw your posts and everyone posts here in that blog. That blog updates itself with whatever topic this forum has posted. It updates itself with the forum's RSS. I think there is a term for this and its called SPLOGS or Spam blogs which are Blogs that updates itself with contents gathered from another source usually by RSS feeds and posts directly to their blogs without any editing or  referencing to the original content.

But anyways each post in that blog shows the actual topic source by linking directly to this forum. Its kinda like a news feed. I'm sure some will argue that although it links directly to the actual original post, it has no rights to publish our contents here in the forum in their blogs .Because he is benefiting from Search engine results, this is not fair to many of us here as some have argued in a previous thread.

Hello team mates,

The guy has practically taken each of this forum's posts and posted them there on his site as if he wrote them himself.

Is there something we can do here in the APS forum to at least sanction him and prevent him from continuing to do so?

He still is an active ACME business member. Any specific ideas?

Eden

Very true Linda..Ive just typed in Google search all my last few Forum topics and they have all come up in 1st place with that site.

Im not happy...   

Hi Amy,
Yes, you can certainly do that. I started doing that quite a few months ago - and it appears like a table of contents on one of my blogs. Kind of neat.

About this particular blog in question, I discovered this quite a while back, because I found my posts on it and I PMed Tissa about it, but at the time he was probably busy and somehow missed it. I think it's probably fine to have an autofeed, but certainly it shouldn't be without qualifying where it is coming from, and giving credit. If he makes it look like he is the author, that is certainly deceptive, and I think it needs to be addressed.

Somesh.

You know Donna that is not a bad idea, Kevin just keep posting in this thread that this is "copied" material and not the content of the site owner.

You may even want to create a new thread

Do this for several days, with Tissa's approval and see what happens

Amy

For Example:

Attention: This is copyrighted material, the information you see on this site is not written by "name", "name" has illegally copied it from "Kevin's referral link to the forum". If you would like more information on ACME People Search and GDI you can contact me "here".

Get this posted about 10 times and that should give you some serious referrals!!!

All he has to do is create a forum referral link to attach to his name on every post he makes, so the "kevin" will be attached to a forum post with his referral link in it.

I honestly would ask Tissa if this can be done for a bit though, just to prevent any problems but that is a great idea as well Donna!

Ok...

I have now put an rss feed on one of my pages....Is there anyway i can put my forum or acme id in the feed URL

kevin

On his first page he uses outdated info about display rates, saying he is syill on 65% display rate.

Isnt that kinda against copyrights i mean all the acme forum posts and topics belong to Acme forum and not somewhere else. I think its like feed all ezine articles to a blog copying all contents and not asking for permission. Also he claims that got 125$ within 24hrs after he signed up with Acme which is sorta missleading.
