Updated from my old post about report spamming and violating blogs. This how to contain ‘feedback’ links of several blog providers, such as Blogger (BlogSpot), Wordpress, Friendster and Multiply. And also spam reporting addresses for some search engines such as Google, Yahoo and MSN.

Blog spam, or “blam” for short, is spamming on weblogs. In 2003, this type of spam took advantage of the open nature of comments in the blogging software Movable Type by repeatedly placing comments to various blog posts that provided nothing more than a link to the spammer’s commercial web site. Similar attacks are often performed against wikis and guestbooks, both of which accept user contributions.

Spamdexing (a portmanteau of spamming and indexing) refers to the practice on the World Wide Web of modifying HTML pages to increase the chances of them being placed high on search engine relevancy lists. These sites use “black hat search engine optimization techniques” to unfairly increase their rank in search engines. Many modern search engines modified their search algorithms to try to exclude web pages utilizing spamdexing tactics (Spam – Wikipedia).

What kind of violation? It could be blogs that contain p0rn0graphy, hateful content, obscenity, steal your content, destructive viruses, malicious codes, violent content, copyright violation, cloaking page, etc.

If you find spamming and violating blogs, press the report / flag button (Blogspot.com) on the top of the navigation bar (Blogspot navbar) / admin panel (Wordpress.com). Alternatively, use these links to report spamming / violating blogs, fill their form or send them mail:

    Sayang sedang mencoba plugin Copyrighted Proof, namun belum bisa dengan posting dari WLW.

    Sedang keep in touch dengan pusat bantuannya, sepertinya ini bisa menjadi solusi buat narablog yang selama ini mengeluh kontennya diplagiat atau dibajak.

    Syukurnya mereka bilang akan mengerjakan plugin baru yang mendukung publikasi dengan perangkat XML-RPC :D … Lumayan-lumayan.

    Cahya,
    kalo liat di KBBI Daring, sekarang plagiat dinyatakan sebagai kata benda. Jiplak sebagai kata kerja.

    Begitu ya Bli, koq menyerap kata setengah-setengah, kayanya penyerapannya juga aneh.

    Plagiat = plagiarism, kenapa bukan plagiarsime?

    Plagiator = plagiarist, koq kita malah pakai akhiran -or dan bukannya -is?

    Cahya,
    menurut KBBI daring (Web):

    pla·gi·at n pengambilan karangan (pendapat dsb) orang lain dan menjadikannya seolah-olah karangan (pendapat dsb) sendiri, msl menerbitkan karya tulis orang lain atas nama dirinya sendiri; jiplakan.

    pla·gi·a·ris·me n penjiplakan yg melanggar hak cipta.

    pla·gi·a·tor n orang yg mengambil karangan (pendapat dsb) orang lain dan disiarkan sbg karangan (pendapat dsb) sendiri; penjiplak.

    Orasi jadi orator, narasi jadi narator.
    Tapi kadang memang ada ketidakkonsistenan bahasa Indonesia (pranala luar ke WikiBooks-ID).

    Saya mungkin bukan ahli bahasa (saya lebih suka sastra). Tapi selama ini dalam benak saya, jiplak tidak sama dengan plagiat.

    Murid yang menyalin peta buta di atas kertas kalkir, orang awam menyebutnya menjiplak, tapi kan tidak sama dengan plagiarismen?

    Rasanya kalau begini saya tidak akan lolos are you smarter then the fifth grader? :D

    Maksud saya entah kenapa penjiplakan yang pada kata dasarnya tidak berkonotasi plagiat, menjadi demikian ketika berubah menjadi kata penjiplakan :)

    Cahya,
    kan memang banyak arti kata jiplak. Menurut KBBI daring versi Web (bukan pengaya):

    jip·lak v, men·jip·lak v 1 menggambar atau menulis garis-garis gambaran atau tulisan yg telah tersedia (dng menempelkan kertas kosong pd gambar atau tulisan yg akan ditiru); 2 mencontoh atau meniru (tulisan, pekerjaan orang lain); mencontek: anak-anak jangan sampai terbiasa ~ hitungan temannya; 3 mencuri karangan orang lain dan mengakui sbg karangan sendiri; mengutip karangan orang lain tanpa seizin penulisnya: ~ karangan orang lain adalah perbuatan yg tercela;
