My Confession
OK, I’m unable to sleep nights until I admit this: For the past two years I have been single-handedly spamming all of your blogs. Yup, I’m the culprit. All of those times that you checked for new comments and all you found were a bunch of annoying sales pitches — It Was Me!!! BWAAHAAHAAHAAAA!!!!
The above paragraph is a bunch of bullshit, of course. But for some reason Blogger has decided that this site is a spam blog. WTF??? Sure I write some inflammatory posts that piss people off, but — SPAM??? Come on.
Several weeks ago I started getting that F#%$! Word Verification thing in the Blogger menu where you publish your posts. I just thought it was a new Blogger procedure; I was usually in too much of a hurry to click on the Help logo next to the Word Verification. Two days ago I finally clicked on the Help logo and got a message that “your blog has characteristics of a spam blog.” Oooookay.
At some point someone from Blogger will check out the blog and (hopefully) decide that it isn’t a spam blog. (There’s an online form to fill out and send to Blogger Help.)
Oh, while you’re here, check out some of these fantastic deals I can get you on Real Estate, Low Interest Car Loans and Discount House Cleaning. (Just Kidding!!)

Kvatch: Oops. Back to the drawing board. I'll try to be a better spammer.
You can always inquire of friends what ight be available in the way of web space and blog software elsewhere...
I had a similar problem with Blogger and they locked me out of my site until a person reviewed it and found that it was not a spam blog or link farm... I think they have a program that randomly Flags sites incorrectly then some employee has to look at them and see if the program did it's job or not... I'm sure the program is a "Work-In-Progress" becuase I have taked to others that had the same thing happen...
Jolly Roger: Yeah, I'll see what I have to do.
Keith: Locked out, that really sucks. My only limitation is that I have to fill in that Word Verification thing whenever I publish, but I can live with that.
Looks like a lot of Spam to me. :)
It's a right wing conspiracy I tell ya! Those suckers will be sorry if the Dem's win in Nov... :p
Jenn: And that's a nonpolitical viewpoint of course :)
Dusty: Yup, it's that damn Right Wing Conspiracy again.
SPAMMER!!! I'm gonna report you, Tom. ;-P
everyone knows that good boner drugs makes the internets go 'round..
Ariadnek: Uh oh, I'm busted.
Mike: Oh yeah, don't I know that. I've sold millions of them from all my different spam sites :)
Well, if Blogger decides to kick you to the curb, there's always WordPress.
Mags: That's true, I've heard good things about WordPress. (That's who Bring It On! uses.) But a little earlier I got an e-mail from the Blogger help desk, saying my blog was examined and determined not to be spam. So I guess I've been exonerated.
do you think you can get them to quit sending me penile extender spam?
Yellowdog Granny: OK, I'll have a word with my subordinates and tell them to take your name off the list :)
