Talk:Scraper sites

From Spamhuntress

I'm locking all the talk pages that get misused by spammers. If you've got something to talk about regarding this page, do it on this universal talk page, and make a note of what article you're commenting. I'll transfer your contribution to the right page manually.

Since so many (most) splogs are RSS scrapers, is this limited to non splog scrapers? -- JoeChongq 17:50, 20 Nov 2005 (CST)

Yeah, that's the idea. We've got tools for splogs, so this is for the non-blog sites. --Spamhuntress 04:01, 21 Nov 2005 (CST)

A few things. It was my understanding that a screen scrapper ripped content from HTML pages and thus RSS scraper is not really talking about the same thing at all. (I am rather perdantic, yes).

One other thing. As mentioned on the main page a database driven site is required. At lordmatt.co.uk I have a BETA that runs as a plugin to my sites blog system that might meet this requirement. I want to run a few more tests before I am happy to start pumping full of data. Once I am ready I currently intend to run it on my site and will be able to provide user accounts to a screened number of persons such as your selves (if this meets your approval).
