Thanks for confirming the conclusion I had already reached. Perhaps updating the support docs and ToS, so there is no confusion about WordPress.com being a platform for original content publication, and not a platform to be used for the purpose of registering free hosted blogs and using them to drive traffic to external sites by means of re-publication of mass produced marketing material is in order.

lol I have a hard enough time to attract traffic to my own. I’ll go through the posts and make them my own.

As for the copying and pasting, I had constructed my own set up.

As the WordPress.com forums are not an appropriate place to debate Terms of Service violations, I will be closing this thread.

Please note that any WordPress.com user may submit sites for staff review by using the drop-down option in the black admin bar.

If any sites are suspended due to a violation of the Terms of Service, the site owner can contact our staff here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/suspended-blogs/
