Has Vox fixed its splog problem?
After each posting to Vox I noticed that ‘Recent posts’ was filled with splogs, spam blogs. I have been reporting a lot to Vox, and wasn’t sure if they did anything with my reports. Others I know, who are friends here, have done the same.
Today, I noticed something refreshing: no splogs at all among the ‘Recent posts’! I hope this wasn’t a fluke, but that Vox has genuinely fixed this problem. Maybe it went and deleted all the blogs associated with a certain group of IPs, or it has been able to tell which were started by spambots.
Also notice, for the type geeks out there, the kerning in Firefox! I see Vo and Yo combinations below. I even enjoy typing YouTube for the kerns in Yo and uTu in my default Lucire sans serif typeface.

You know you also have seen the porn links written in Russian that has been left on some of our blogs. I wrote to Vox management and told them about that problem and I also told them that when I block and delete that one person - the very same person comes back under a new account and does the same thing over and over.
Well I heard back from Vox management and they thanked me for reporting that problem and they told me they fixed it. Well they did not! They just removed the one account and did not block that persons IP address like I asked them to.
Today I received another russian porn links in comments here. Same person, same name but with the number 1 after it's name that Vox said they took care of.
Is anyone else having the same problem? If you are please report this person and leave their comment so you can show Vox. I know Judgebob is and so is Lexann. My question to Vox is - Do they want us to stop blogging here? Is that the purpose for them to not directly handle these problems?
