  thanks roseclark
  i have a self hosted blog myself…. but this was a splog clearly, with funky scripts added . and if you check out the WP.org, they do note themes that have altered links in strings. I am not technically proficient to analyze nor do i wish too. And i dont care when people quote me.i just want to know a place where people who do look at this stuff, and make a decision to shut down something that might be malicious.
  thanks.:)

  Please understand that wordpress.org and wordpress.com are very different. WordPress.com staff cannot “make a decision to shut down” a blog that is not a blog free hosted by wordpress.com

  If the splogger you refer to is using a free template downloaded from wordpress.org then you must determine who the web host for that blog is and make a complaint to the web host.

  If the splogger who is stealing your posts is posting them on a wordpress.com free hosted blog then it’s upt to you to make a complaint to activate staff http://wordpress.com/complaints/
