Google Plus users may not be seeing what IC or what I am now considering to be the new spam that is being projected as posts.
You may be asking yourself at this point what spam? But it's there and it's right in front of your face what I am referring to is shared posts.Look in your Google+ Stream, you may have seen them without giving it another thought.
Just recently I've been noticing posts from Internet showboats like Robert Scoble and Chris Pirillo and an even Tom Anderson spamming mine and is invading your Google Plus Stream. I have found myself, commenting on their post just as hundreds have been doing since the Google Plus launched. But it's not so much mine or us the commenter's fault. It's the offending posters that are to blame not to mention the fact everyone commenting to those posts are responding to spam. So here's what's happening and guide you can fix it so you will never received another spam from these intruders because who wants to see this type of thing happening on Google+ anyway.To get rid of spammers go to their Google Plus page and you will see a link to the bottom left corner, see the block User Name.

| This is the message you will see if someone has Blocked you from commenting on their Google+ posts. |
Click the block this user. The dialog reads "What happens if you block User Name, you will no longer receive this persons content in your stream".
- This person won't be able to comment on your content.
- This person will be removed from your circles.
- This person will still be able to see your posts.
Username won't receive an e-mail about these changes you can always unblocked this person later.
This will stop the offending Google Plus intruder from spamming you in the future. Note: I'm not saying block everyone just block the worst offenders.
Knowing who is blocking you should be a no brainer. When you have become a usual commenter on one of those spammers posts and let's say they didn't much enjoy the fact you commented something about them; usually a block will come some sort of negative feedback. Try commenting on one of their posts and use the plus user name +User Name to grab their attention, if google plus gives you an error message "there was a problem updating your comment please try again". You will know who is blocking you but still want you as their are audience or drone.
Keeping your google about you and what interests you should be your main priority and not some jack Ross way of manipulating you into becoming another one of those drones. Stay in touch with people in your Circles and create an actual following by creating your own interesting topics, this should be your number #1 goal when using YOUR Google Plus.
And remember to keep things flowing in your stream by sharing interests and helpful information let's keep your Google Plus on the right track.
