[Planet] Why has Roger Sperberg's spam blog been aggregated?
 
Seriously, I know fewer people are writing about the N900 these days but there's no need to add spammers to the feed-list.

Here's his blog: http://n900guide.com

Some jewels that just popped in my RSS reader included:
- Compare Nokia N900 Deals
- Cheapest Nokia N900

Plus all the posts are from today. All of them except the Hello World that was posted (when the blog was setup) yesterday.

This made me suspicious so I googled for a phrase from one of the articles... And guess what, the post is stolen and has been syndicated on all the other crappy SEO blogs.

In short:
- This isn't a real blog.
- It should be removed from the planet immediately (in all senses of the word)

I have a feeling that it used to be a "real" blog but the domain may have expired and been taken over by spammers. In any case, yes, it shouldn't be on Planet Maemo.

Could someone raise a bug report and/or email Roger (to confirm the domain expiry). Simples.

Stupid Advertisements are not News!
 
I OWN a Nokia N900, I'm happy with it and I'm not in a mood of buying another one too. I don't care about "Why we should use N900" or "The promising and hot N900" and "Fantastic phone in the N-Series: Nokia N900" because I'm using it already, even If I'm not, I would prefer reading a review instead of reading completely unnecessary advertisements and there's no way to avoid them, because they're posted on News section, not "Things you wouldn't care at all" section.

So, please, would you kindly remove those contents or writers from aggregator? It's getting really annoying, and I'm wondering why nobody else cares?

It appears somebody already deactivated the feed from Planet.

Thanks. Can the old spam posts on http://maemo.org/news/planet-maemo/ be deleted too?

EDIT 20 Oct: Neils Breet removed the old spammy posts this morning. Thanks.
