Spam Appeal Guidelines - March 2012
If your blog has been falsely classified as a spam (hacking, porn) host, we apologise. Nobody gains, with genuine, non spam Blogger blogs being deleted or locked falsely. Given the fact that automated spam detection is not yet a perfect science, Blogger Support is always willing to investigate any reports of false positive spam reviews, politely posted here in the forum.
That being said, before you request an appeal, it's worth describing a few examples of what Blogger regularly removes, as part of its zero tolerance policy to abusive / inappropriate content:
Affiliate marketing. Content created with scripts and programs, rather than by hand. Content or links referencing referral-based activities such as GPT ("Get Paid To"), MMH ("Make Money from Home"), MMF ("Make Money Fast"), MLM ("Multi-Level Marketing"), PTC ("Pay To Click"), or PTS ("Pay To Surf"). Content scraped from other blogs / websites. Copyright Infringement. Large blogs with multiple, unfocused / unrelated subjects. Links to Illegal Downloads / Streaming / Torrents. Links to Account Hacking / Password Distribution sites. If you are the owner of the blog(s) in question, just reply here, saying that you've read these Guidelines, and objectively tell us whether any of the examples provided might be relevant to your blog - and we'll forward your appeal to Blogger Support.
Please note that the Blogger Team may look at other blogs in your account, as part of their review. If you request an appeal, and Blogger discovers other abusive / inappropriate content during the investigation, you risk having all of your content permanently removed. Please consider this when requesting an appeal.
