Had the same problems myself with a load of articles I wrote for my own sites/blogs, so am glad you’ve pulled the plug on this!

Way to stick to your principles.

Now you have forgone the opportunity to develop a useful program for the biggest web development community on the planet.

Agreed! Why build fences when you can create paths? I hope you get past it Eliot, don’t let the spammers win. If you’re clever enough to create the autoblog extension, I’m guessing you can find a way to turn the tables on them spammers.

Hey CWD, any where near Clark & Foster? Hi neighbor! =)

The best way to prevent content theft is to not syndicate the entire article. Just put your excerpts in the feed. Then if other people post your post it actually helps you by driving traffic to your site and increasing your backlinks.

Elliott,

Thank you for making life harder for thieves and spammers! And I'm really sorry you were labeled as a spammer.

Here's an excellent article by Lorelle VanFossen (aka Lorelle on WordPress), "What Do You Do When Someone Steals Your Content":

All the best,

Tony.
