A Feeling of Helplessness

It's nice to write in this blog again. It's been nearly two months since my last post. I will admit, back in May I was not feeling well, and didn't try to post for 10 days or so. When I did, I found I was unable to do so. Apparently this blog was flagged as a spam blog by an automated bot. I immediately requested a review. I also read several blogs and other useful articles, but found I just had to wait. And wait. There is no way to directly contact anyone, just request a review and wait. I requested several reviews as it seemed my blog was not coming back. On June 10th it seemed as though my review was accepted, but I still needed to wait. A short time later my blog disappeared. Up until then it was visible, I just could not post, nor let my readers know of this mishap.

Although it was quite distressing, I am glad to be back. They flag spam blogs that have multiple links all leading to the same site or to transfer viruses etc. It said if you are reading this your blog is probably not a spam blog. I can understand why they may flag a blog, but the time it took to regain control of my blog was quite unacceptable. I feel it was quite unfair to myself and my readers, and hope now I've been found innocent of any wrongdoing, it will never happen again.

I will post again soon and share the programs that have paid me since I have been away. I can only leave you with the words I was left with, We apologize for any inconvience. I was certainly left with a feeling of helplessness.

Thanks for Reading,

Funatic
