Dear all,
I've alreadyNone of them had given full solution to the problem (although I see many with the same problem), so I start a new thread here, since the problem is really bugging me (a lot!)
- read the Blogger Terms of Service (TOS), Content policy again and again
- Read extensively through the Blogger Help section
- Searched for related data on this helpful Group
- Filled a report/contact form to Blogger.com stating my case, but has yet to receive any response (I didn't receive any bot-mail, either)
4 days ago, readers of my blog reported that they could no longer view my blog - Personal Dumpyard Access - at http://shockway.blogspot.com/
A page stating "This blog is in violation of Blogger's Terms of Service and is currently visible to authors only” is shown instead. Upon logging into my account, a message on the Dashboard said the same thing. At the time there were still several blogs on my dashboard, only 2 of which were open to the public (the rest were private, and most could only be accessed by myself exclusively.)
On the same day, I discovered that the search results Google turned up of my blog were labeled dangerous, and "could be harmful to your computer." Since I could swear that no malicious code whatsoever has been inserted to the blog, and to my best knowledge it has not been hacked either, I am totally lost as to why the blog would be labeled “dangerous.” I installed website analytic tools that Google provided, and filled a form requesting clarification for its wronged accusation. To this day no reply has been received.
At the time I could still log in to my account and update/access my public blog, http://shockway.blogspot.com/ , as well as update my other private blogs. Even though I’ve read the Blogger Help section extensively and read related topics on this Help Group, there seems to be not much explanation for this aside that it might have been mislabeled by the spam bot. From what I've read, it seems like many others are facing similar problems.
Unfortunately, that was not the worst. 2 days ago, I realized that the error message for my blog URL has changed abruptly. From not allowing public viewing to simply “THIS URL COULD NOT BE FOUND.”
Greatly surprised, I logged into my account immediately. To my great dismay, ALL BLOGS HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM MY DASHBOARD!!! Not a single one is left. Where there used to be 7 blogs to modify and update freely, now it seems that all my blogs have been removed, or even worse, DELETED.
And all this in total discretion, without so much as a warning email explaining what and why this is happening.
Can anybody help me please?
These events have left me quite devastated, as it contains many memories and efforts spanning 2+ years, 400+ posts. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and if Blogger helper (Gatsby) happens to come by, it would be my lucky day :)
My main / public blog is http://shockway.blogspot.com/
However, since it doesn't seem to exist anymore, all it turns up is a 404. The only blog presently left in my account is newly established (after all these events have happened), for testing and recording recent events.
