Thanks for finally taking care of it. If you're taking suggestions:
1) it's very hard to find out where to contact GAE to report abuse - the link Barry mentioned does not even exist on most pages, the only page I can even see it on is itself down the bottom. 2) It would be awesome if anyone ever replied, I filled out the complaint form shortly after Barry revealed the URL and never heard anything until the separate, earlier complaint was rejected for hilariously bad reasoning. I really don't see what's complicated about a generic internet spammer scraping content (or technically proxying, though whether he saves the content or not hardly seems relevant), it happens anywhere scammers and spammers can make a dime dishonestly, it should be a lot easier and a lot faster to report. Ben PS. Not sure how you missed the porn ads but you can still see them in Google's cache: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:PY0Fc1PmAJIJ:fsd4353.appspot.com/bHlvaS5vL29tbnRwYXRtY2NtY211aXk%3D+http://fsd4353.appspot.com/bHlvaS5vL29tbnRwYXRtY2NtY211aXk%3D&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&source=www.google.com <!--JuicyAds v2.0--> <iframe hspace=0 vspace=0 border=0 frameborder=0 marginheight=0 marginwidth=0 width=632 height=142 scrolling=no allowtransparency=true src=http://adserver.juicyads.com/adshow.php?adzone=48052></iframe> <!--JuicyAds END--> On May 23, 5:45 pm, "Ikai Lan (Google)" <ika...@google.com> wrote: > Turns out there were a bunch more terms of service violations being > committed by the developer of this application.
