If three people or services (Technorati, Ice-Rocket, etc) rate a site as a splog it will be added to an RSS feed. This feed would then be syndicated for the world to index and remove ignore pings by added sites.The only potential downside I think is if people would report legit sites as a splog for personal reasons (revenge, etc).

But out of perplexion, I asked them how their pinging works, i.e, how does it prevent ping redundancy (what i mentioned above). But still, I haven’t received any answer.So unless FeedBurner is doing something to stop ping redundancy, pinging services like Pingoat from within their system, along with the individual pings they send is a major flaw.

A Pending Ping Crisis? 7

As comprehensive coverage is a key battleground for blog search engines and portals, how can the currently free and (almost) open services offered by weblogs.com, blo.gs, etc. resist greater and greater claims on their value? Secondly, as this graph of weblogs.com suggests, as the number of pings grows, how can underfunded services like weblogs.com be considered reliable?This is dead on. It’s a huge problem actually.
