Well, the sight of 10 blog posts coming in rapid-fire manner right after the hand of the clock moves past midnight to Monday is not surprising.
The fact that that these posts are plagiarized is not surprising. Rapid-fire is a good warning sign… usually wasted. The “author” is not Russel Ray, so he can do whatever he wants… even write War and Peace…
The fact that AR is resisting to either return to the flag system, which made it easier to report problems with blogs (not with comments), or offer something not much worse, is not surprising, of better say, no longer surprising after all this time of inability/unwillingness/resistance to address the issue.
The fact that some priorities on AR raise hair questions, and for logging in and doing nothing you get 100 points, but for weeding cockroaches plagiarists you get 10 points, even though it takes you 3 times longer to report than to log in, but even this is no longer surprising
But there is irony in that these plagiarized posts come with this warning:
Sorry, that content is protected
Really? The stolen one? Is it why AR is sorry to protect this content, or the “contenter” (my neologism, as "blogger" does not really pertain).
For newbies – we are talking about the flagging system, since Jon Washburn “killed” the one we had (and it worked fine) promising us something phenomenally good coming, which never made it. And since then turned the deaf ear…
And for the first time since this warning Sorry, that content is protected came on our pages with no explanation, I agreed with AR.
Sorry is very appropriate here.
