Re: TOS Violation?

yeah... it's ridiculous--I got a blog that I've been running for over a year completely removed without any sort of warning. And no, it wasn't completely chock full of porn nor was it a spam blog. There's been a total rash of deletions of blogs on Blogger lately. Go do a Google search on the subject, it's happening to all kinds of people without any warning or explanation unless you email or get at least 10 or more responses on a message on this bulletin board. And even then
you really don't get a real answer.

There's really no way to get at your stuff other than using the Way back Machine website or by using the Google search and checking out the cache of your blog. Otherwise you're completely out of luck.

Because they will not get back to you and they will not provide you any of the information that you worked on within the posts of your blog.

Fun little company wouldn't you say?

It actually has been reported by quite a few people that if you have more than one blog and you end up linking your blogs together that it will set off their spam detectors and will ultimately get your blog pulled. That's what I think happened with mine, but hey, I really don't know for sure because all I got was a third hand response in a thread where I complained about my blog being deleted. The Blogger employee didn't even respond to me, he responded to someone else who was trying to help me and purely said "the blog in question wasn't hacked, it was removed for violation of TOS". It's not a conspiracy theory, it's happening alot--Just look outside this "help group" and look for yourselves.

Anyway, that's my two cents and they're angry ones!
