  Not sure what can be done, but there seem to be plenty of wordpress blogs that are pure spam. When I say plenty, I have no way of quantifying this.

  I was doing a search for recent posts related to the band Nashville Pussy and looking at recent posts there was nothing but pages and pages of obvious spam. Does WordPress not do any validation to ensure that when people set up blogs they are not used for exclusive spam?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You can flag a blog that is Spam – at the top in the Navigation bar mouse over “Blog Info” and click on “Report as Spam” – then fill out why you think the blog does not stay within the Terms of Service and is Spam –

  Staff do pay attention to those – You can make a difference and help keep WordPress.COM a good place with quality content.

  Happy Hunting!
