In thinking about unethical webmasters, what are your most hated techniques? I see a lot of different methods of spamming out there and it seems the top that plague THIS industry are:
1. Complete site copying
2. Use of RSS feeds expansively to auto-generate a site (use my/other peoples content for free and generate websites)
3. Use of .org, .edu, and other longtime domains and somehow create a single gambling page there with casino links.
4. Mass generation of subdomains of longtime domains.
Those are just a few. My most hated is #1 and any version of that where a webmaster generally steals content and then later claims that 'someone wrote it for him' and 'I didn't know it was stolen' and any other number of poor excuses.
