Foreign language blogs
Noticed in the Travel Network an increase in non-English blogs. Not a real problem yet, but it could be... the big majority of readers being English-speakers, if it gets to the point that the Top Ten latest entries are in Dutch/Spanish/Russian or whatever, it's going to big a big turn-off for most of us!!!
Really needs a non-English channel to avoid this happening! What do you reckon?

Inappropriate?Sorry Dave - know you're busy - but on this subject you've now got a Spanish blogger who's already posted 40 times by December 4th, dominating the most recent blogs section as a result.
What's more, copy/pasting blog info from outside sources every hour as a 'new blog entry' is a simple way of foxing the parametres you've set up to get the best blogs into the 'top 10'.
So here you've a double problem - a blog in Spanish which most readers can't read, dominating the recent entries, and someone who is spamming as well to beat two out of three (number of posts, frequency) requirements to shoot up the rankings.
Anyone can play at that game, but it'll mess up your system!
Not good.
I’m getting a bit doubtful that the system can keep the spammers out
