How to get banned from MyBlogLog
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or subscribe via email. Thanks for visiting!
I have been doing a lot of reading over at shoemoney.com about mybloglog hacks. Jeremy has been, in my opinion, helping mybloglog fix possible exploits but with all of the noise he has been causing I think they got a little upset and banned him from mybloglog.
How to get banned from mybloglog:
7.Use co-author spam
6.Leave spam messages
5.Build programs that automate friend requests
4.Build programs that create multiple accounts on mybloglog
3.Use hacks that enable you to browse sites as another user
2.Utilizing scripts to create dynamic functions without a user’s approval
and now…
1.Publishing mybloglog hacks and encouraging readers to do these hacks
Jeremy Schoemaker was banned for this and officially Mybloglog made this public response to jeremy’s ban.
“To be clear — we did not ban shoemoney for posting about exploits. Although we would certainly have appreciated that he email us first, it’s his decision where he would like to publish them. We banned him for publishing other people’s data on the site and urging readers to spoof them. On what planet is that not a bannable offense?”
Something to keep in mind ![]()

I can see why the mbl guys might be feeling a little miffed with all this.Just look at the last few posts from their blog, looks like they are stuck in the spam trenches, the sad thing is that when you read various posts the likes of eric and scott are leaving here and there, you’ll note that on more than one occassion theyll associate it with seo in some way. Thats a little sad and totally unreflective of what most seo and seo’s are about.
The thing with being big and popular is that you end up attracting all manner of people. Im kind of split on the whole thing. On the one hand I think mr shoe should be thanked for highlighting exploits as it enables the mbl chaps to go and review and patch the problems. On the other hand, it is a massive PITA to have someone feckin with your code and making something you’ve invested a lot of time and energy in, look stupid or 2nd rate.
The gentlemanly thing to have done would have been to have said, hey guys i found these issues with your site. Hell, just highlighted one even and see how they reacted.
That said, banning people solves little; if anything it’ll just stir up the shoe fan club.
Some people (seo types perhaps more so) push and prod and game things. Google gets it all the time. Their algo would never have reached the level of maturity it has, without a whole bunch of seo’s poking and playing around. Need drives innovation.
Rob I really appreciate your contribution here. I could not have said this better myself.
I think Eric’s problem was that if Shoe found these hacks it would have been best to just email mybloglog directly instead of putting it out on his site which gets a ton of traffic and everyone and their mom was trying these hacks. Each post inspired many wanna be hackers to game mybloglog.
Bang on the money Joe. Thats the thing, I think it focused a little too much light on an area that didn’t really need it, at least not so publically perhaps.
I note that they’ve since reinstated him, although it still looks like there is a little bit of mbl hating going on.
