Your right about people getting a little carried away with what they consider spam. I looked at thevoiceofgod's blog and it is certainly creative. Although it is simple, there is nothing wrong with it. I tried to counter the downvote in question but it's already been ten days so it's best to just move on I guess.
The problem is that spam is getting out of control and people are trying to do something about it. Sometimes I guess people who are doing nothing wrong will get caught up in the fight. It's unfortunate, but spam can't be ignored anymore. We tried ignoring it and it got a good foothold so now it's time to do something about it.
Hm, yes I guess that's, true. Thank you Steve!
