What is wrong with this picture? :: A call to Google Nuking!
by Liza Sabater
This is what's wrong!
I've banned these trolls from my sites about 10 times already. I've seen their croprolific actions strewn about on sites I visit. I have alerted spammees but I think this needs more drastic action.
Let's Google Nuke these suckers out of oblivion.
Let's delete all links these slimy creatures have posted all through out the blogosphere. Then, let's sit back and wait for the indexes to speak.
Who's in with me?

Say it loud, say it proud!
If you set up the MT-Blacklist plugin then they cannot post comments on your site. Works like a charm for me.

Yea I just nuked these slime balls this morning on my typepad site. I had about a dozen of their comments in my site.

Because one of my weblogs focuses on sexuality I've found myself subjected to much referral log spamming (everybody who runs Refer seems to be from my Google digging).
Right before Google's Florida update I changed the header of my Refer log and my robots.txt to tell search 'bots to stop indexing my referral logs. A couple of days ago I checked Google for a couple of keywords that I knew that Google had my referral logs show unusually high if you searched for them. Google had flushed my referral logs from the system.
If it works for referral logs it'll work for comments. In principal. If almost every weblogger cleaned their comments, blocked their referral logs (the latter infects Popdex as well as Google, never checked BlogDex). I suspect there are too many folks who don't know the solution since they just blog and don't read or think about blogging. And lots of blogs die without ever being taken down so the comments on their blog will persist for however long it takes for their provider or host to finally remove them for inactivity (I have two old Blogger blots I haven't touched in two years, they are still up.)
Not that I don't support the idea. Not sure how effective it will be but worth doing for its own sake.
