Splog Survivor

I got to wondering how well Blogger was doing in actually removing flagged splogs reported here. As expected, not so good. Only 11 out of 40 (27.5%) splogs that I posted here between August 25 and September 4 were removed. I am not counting the Redirect Splogs (all of which are still working) or the ones that had no flag button (one of three is gone now) since they can't be flagged.

Here are the survivors:

Comments:
After some investigation, here's how you can flag allegedly 'unflaggable' blogs:

See if they allow comments. If so, do a mouseover the comments. You'll see a URL like this:

http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=###&postID=###

Blogger includes JavaScript which is unfortunately editable by the creator, so it's pretty easy to ditch their flagging links and scripting. However all you need to do is grab the blogID value and include it in the following URL:

http://www.blogger.com/flag-blog.g?nav=1&toFlag=###

One of the ones not listed in your list but created by one of their spammers involves soccer ball... sales? I guess? It's URL is here and features no flag link:

http://soccerball-info.blogspot.com/

To flag it, the URL is here:

http://www.blogger.com/flag-blog.g?nav=1&toFlag=14916072

You'll see the "unflag" image appear after you send that URL.

Ta da!

Thanks a lot. I suspected it was possible, but didn't investigate it enough.
