Shoemoney Banned from MyBlogLog

Shoemoney, one of the hottest blog in the Blogosphere confirmed he has been banned from MyBlogLog, which has been recently acquired from Yahoo.

Here is the recap, Shoemoney had made a couple of posts regarding to the bugs he found in MBL. Some of the bugs that was found and now fixed included:

• using someone's account to surf MBL
• hack other people's account joining a community
• getting free targeted keyword links on MBL
• make some famous people co-author your site

One of the admin in MBL make it clear that they did not ban Shoemoney for posting about exploits and has nothing to do with the bashing he made to MBL:

"Although we would certainly have appreciated that he email us first, it’s his decision where he would like to publish them. We banned him for publishing other people’s data on the site and urging readers to spoof them."

I think it is a loss-loss situation. MBL lost a valuable member in their community and there are lots of Shoemoney fans criticized the move. At the same time, Shoemoney lost a decent medium that is helpful to his blog. Hopefully, it won't end like this, maybe MBL will re-evaluate the situation again later on and re-initiate his membership. Afterall, his community page is still there.
