Blogger spam robots s***.

Well, can you imagine Blogger taking down a genuine blog account with 88000 visitors/day without notice?

It happened to a site two days back. Couple of jottings from the site owner.

"Blogger's spam-prevention robots detected that my blog had characteristics of a spam blog. However, Automated spam detection is inherently fuzzy, and so there are lots of false positives--with this being one of them!"

"Blogger has no phone support and its online forum about this issue indicates that a Blogger representative needs to review the situation and this may take some time."

It's ridiculous that Google can do such silly things. It's basic common sense that, someone "human" MUST evaluate a suspicious blog account that's been in existence for couple of years with such a high volume of visitors. This is the irony of highly automated systems. But, this is also the sheer mistake of Google policies and support for blogspot!

Be warned that, this could happen to you and me ;)
