Over the last 2 weeks, WordPress has been logging me out randomly and then when I go back to login, someone has already logged me in. Not sure if this is just a glitch on your part or what's going on. Also, today I am having problems viewing my posts in the reader under their associated tags. Both posts were re-blogs or had Press This links to the original post. Your assistance is much appreciated. Thank you!

Cheers,
Tyler

I could not do it. I can type in the code correctly and everything, and check that the video is embeddable, and no matter what, all that comes up is the written out shortcode. Why is this and what can I do about it? I'd like to make extensive, multi-media remarks when I reblog something instead of just some Facebook comment like "COOL" but this is really limiting.

It looks like they have a history of this. I see that this blog only goes back to early February of this year yet I knew that I had seen earlier examples of their use of our content other than our last two posts in March and April. When I dug back into the comments section of our earlier posts, I found pingbacks to a blog called RETIRING BOOMER, an earlier version of their current AFFLUENT BOOMER, which lists as contributors the RETIRING BOOMER, the AFFLUENT BOOMER and THE SUCCESSFUL BOOMER. However, it seems that retiringboomer.wordpress.com is no longer available!
I will follow up. Thank you.

But you're right in that they create their posts as regular posts: they don't use the reblog button, to avoid displaying your avatar and the clear marking "Reblogged from The Real Deal" that would automatically show up. That's what this blog systematically does: it's a scraper blog that relies exclusively on content from other blogs.

They have done this not once but many times. When they do this, they take the entire post, image and full text, and republish it the same day ours is published. They retag it and republish it with their own social media buttons and they get all the likes and shares to their post. However, they add "/The Real Deal", which is our blog name, to their title. At the same time they put a link at the bottom of the post that says "via" and links to our original blog post at
http://sbtrealdeal.wordpress.com/2013/04/06/top-10-tips-to-sell-your-business-and-not-leave-money-on-the-table/ on April 6.

So they are not hiding what they are doing, but what they are doing is not right. I don't know what this would be labelled as if I were to report it.

The offending post and site is

What should we do?

Since reblog-only blogs don't actually get wider exposure for existing posts (thanks to staff disabling the normal SEO-friendly features) there really isn't any point to them other than storage, and if storage is the only function, it's appropriate for them to be Private. In fact, I wish I could make my Tumblr private.

We assume that anyone participating in the community to the extent of having a blog here will put their original thoughts on the line. Having a blog which consists solely of reblogs denigrates the platform to the level of a filing cabinet.

I have a reblog blog. Actually, I have two reblog blogs now, because I realised one of my 'normal' blogs had morphed into a reblog blog due to poor state-of-mind leading to diminished writing ability.

The reblog blog is purely for sharing stuff from WP that doesn't fit into any of my other blog categories because there are tons of awesome posts out there on WP that deserve a far wider audience than they already have. The other blog started out as sociology and social policy oriented blog to catalogue stuff that I found during my research for my degree of the same subjects. However, due to the dodgy mental health issues, the degree's been failed, but the stuff that's being put on there is still based around those subjects, and so just yesterday I decided to officially rebrand it as a reblog blog for that subject material.

Why do I reblog? Well it's certainly not to drive people my way, because all my way does is point out everyone else who's managing to write so much better than me. It's not about me as a blogger, but about those blogs I reblog. When I share something through a reblog, people who browse my interests/blogs/etc. are going to find those other bloggers.

I'm confused as to why so many of you are so against these things, because all they do is point a wider audience to the reblogged posts.

But yeah, yay for taking action on the truly spammy type.
