Say hello to Poker 101.  I don't normally link to sites filled with affiliate links and the like (At least I try not to.) but I'm making a big deal about this for one very good reason.

It's still there.

You see, a couple of months back, I noticed (see the comments section) that sometimes I had to resend spam reports into wordpress.com when they didn't get acted upon them.  Now, I know it's only Mark over there dealing with those reports (Lloyd used to do them as well but I noted that he got removed from that position.  At least he's no longer following up on reports any more.) but after two reports sent in previously, (and a third one in today) the site is still there.

- Affiliate links? Check
- Adverts? Check
- Content stealing? Maybe.  Copied at least.

This isn't the first time I've seen this either.  This guy had his sites up for more than a week after first questioning what the issue was.

Sure, maybe wordpress.com has a public face of being anti-splog.  We all know that previous experience shows otherwise.
