Blog unblocked!

"Hello,

Your blog has been reviewed, verified, and cleared for regular use so that
it will no longer appear as potential spam. If you sign out of Blogger and
sign back in again, you should be able to post as normal. Thanks for your
patience, and we apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

Sincerely,
The Blogger Team"




This blog was finally unblocked today by bloggers after 12 days. They had claimed that they would do it in less than one working day. They blocked it on 12 Jan, 2007.


I am glad and I will be posting here soon. Today if time permits.

This is what I received which informed me that my blog resembled a spam..

"Dear Blogger user,

This is a message from the Blogger Team. In order to maintain a free, high quality service, we use an automated classifier to identify spam blogs. [1]

This system has detected that your blog has characteristics that resemble spam. Since you're an actual person reading this, your blog is probably not a spam blog. Automated spam detection is inherently fuzzy, and we sincerely apologize for this erroneous result.

You won't be able to publish posts to your blog until we review your site and verify that it is not a spam blog. To request a review, please fill out the form found here:

http://www.blogger.com/unlock-blog?blogID=...

We'll take a look at your blog and unlock it in less than four business days. Please note, if we don't hear from you, we will remove your blog within 20 days.

If the blog at http://soulfullymindless.blogspot.com/ does not belong to you, then no action is necessary on your part. Any other blogs you may have will not be affected.

By using automated classification systems we've been able to dedicate more storage, bandwidth, and engineering resources to users like you instead of spammers. Thanks for your understanding.

Sincerely,

The Blogger Team"
