Sploggers Are a Cancer to the Blogosphere

In regards to blogging, if there’s one thing that drives me nuts (other than spam comments), it’s sploggers.  These people set up generic blogs, throw in Google AdSense and install a plugin that steals posts from your RSS feed and then publishes them as their own.  In some cases they link to your post, but that’s just as annoying in my opinion.

So tonight I found one such fool stealing my Twitter updates and had to leave a comment (because the coward has no contact info and didn’t even bother to remove the default “about” text and apparently doesn’t even approve *any* comments).

I’m not going to bother linking to their site as that would only encourage the behavior, but I’ll post my comment here:

Stop stealing my content and start writing your own posts! Sploggers like you are a cancer to the blogosphere.

And learn how to setup permalinks and update the “about” copy while you’re at it.

Am I out of line?  To me this is just totally redicilious.  I wish Google had some sort of policing in effect because you know that they can tell when there’s duplicate content. If they stoped paying these fools they’d have no reason to continue the practice.
