Jean also posted some recommandation specially to decrease the false positive rate (i.e. normal blogs reported as spam). And its really one of things that are very difficult to reduce, I remember in the beginning lot of normal blogs are detected as splogs for many reasons !
Those issued from bugs in Antisplog have been fixed, but those who are using splogs techniques can't escape the AntiSplog detection system. Actually I don't see how to make "normal blogs" which use splogs techniques be an exception in Antisplog, if they should be !. But all other cases could be fixed I'm sure.
Jean linked also to a post in SEO Black hat about spammers monitoring Anti-splogs techniques to produce human-looking texts which are difficult to detect. I think I have answered this question before, that whatever the techniques used the reasons are same. And detecting what splogs are trying to do is more easy than detecting how they're doing this.
And this will make them if they want to escape anti-splogs technique be simply listed in the end of search engines results, in the case they are listed there.
