There's no need a for a dedicated team. Why not let the community deal with it? All they have to do is program the Market to automatically eject any apps that are deemed to be garbage by the community. This would be a factor of low rating and being flagged as "inappropriate". Get a low enough rating and enough flags and you're voted off the island. If you want back in you have to contact Google Customer Support. In other words, you'd never be allowed back. The mass of spam would be quickly eliminated and it would cost Google nothing more than the initial setup. The day I no longer see crapps from M Star LLC or Michael Quach will be a joyous day indeed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
