To: Crim; w1n1

The “Post and Run” ping list is specifically spambots who are always “1 of x” on their posting history and never reply to posts. Every post is clickbait to his or her own blog or a blog for who he or she is a spambot. The fact that the spambot doesn’t bother leaving a “tip” for use of FR bandwidth for incessant spamming doesn’t help.

I add “to be removed, reply to this post.” One has replied. One has replied and donated. Just for what it’s worth.

As far as the “rules,” Jim Robinson has posted that he wished folks would not excerpt their own blogs (i.e. blog pimping) but there is no specific rule. If I had a blog, I would not excerpt it. I do invite folks who are spambots to donate during FReepathons, though.

Now, this particular OP, w1n1, is a peculiar sort. Cannot write to save his life. Any well-written article is likely to be copied and pasted from somewhere else. I’ve often caught this blog plagiarizing others’ works and pointing it out here. I stopped bothering. For me the last straw was when w1n1 posted a work where the author shot rounds at his wife’s chest while she was wearing a ballistic vest to show the effectiveness of the vest. I just threw up my arms regarding this stupid-assed blog.

He also used to post graphic images of gunshot wounds under the category ‘humor’.
