180 seems to be this user: http://openlibrary.org/people/deidrasanfelix
It doesn't even count as spam, in my mind -- it's pure vandalism because no one is going to buy a pair of shoes (or whatever) based on those entries.

I bet they've gotten some clicks already, but it also makes OL look crassly commercial. kc On 11/24/12 8:01 PM, Patrick Conley wrote: > http://openlibrary.org/publishers/180 is a favorite place for spammers > (1.353 works). > > BTW: When will be the next update of the index?
