6/29    Apparently Obama fascists are reporting blogs that aren't flattering as
        spam.  Google is too lazy or complicit to tell the difference.

        \_ Obama "fascists?"
           \_ Yes.  Most likely fans of Obama, who are trying to shut down
              anyone who doesn't agree with them.  They're not gov't agents,
              just lefty nutters.
              \_ How many people would have to be involved in this to
                 qualify as anything more than kookiness?
                 \_ I see this as more of a problem with Google than the kooks.
                    I doubt anyone officially connected to Obama is doing this,
                    but why is Google allowing it?  -op
                    \_ Great question. Did the blogger contact Google directly
                       about this?
                       \_ "The three blogs who were locked up today didn't fare
                          so well. Blogger has locked them out from posting at
                          all until they are "reviewed". I would like to think
                          that someone working for blogger is not involved
                          here, but I can attest that their "reviews" aren't
                          happening. Hopefully they are just bogged down. I
                          would like to think that way."
                          \_ But it would make her blog so much more signifi-
                             cant if blogger were somehow involved, so there
                             go the insinuations.
        \_ Good job self-Godwin'ing. Please go away.
        \_ Fascists? "I do not think it means what you think it means."

Anti Obama Blogs Locked Due To False "SPAM" Reporting ***Continually Updated Below*** Updated June 27 My own blogger "unblock request" was completed for the third time again this morning. It was completed the first time on June 3 and the "verification" that it was listed mysteriously disappeared on June 17. The "verification" for that request was gone this morning. I would say it's pretty safe to assume that Blogger isn't going to do this "review" and, if I dont' check to see if the "verification" is there every single day, it can disappear arbitrarily. I think it's pretty safe to say that Blogger is never going to "review" my blog and that in a few weeks this "verification" will also "disappear" and I will have to resubmit the request again. Since I can honestly say that the word verification I have to go through to write a post is horrendous and the worst I have ever seen. I no longer have "autosave," so everytime I want to save my work, I have to verify and then "save as draft". Then I have to reopen the post and go through the same process to save or publish. I am lucky next to the people below though, who have been COMPLETELY blocked from posting. Frankly I am tired of being toyed with by Obama people and Blogger. Therefore I will stay with blogger till the "four days" is up for the other bloggers who have been completely blocked and then I am permamently moving. Your blog requires word verification Blogger's spam-prevention robots have detected that your blog has characteristics of a spam blog. smarmy Obama nuts falsely "reporting" your blog as "spam," please post your alternate blog name in the comments section of this post - and I will update this post to let everyone know where you are. Once again, here is my alternate blog link should I become completely locked up too. Do not use this new link to post to me unless you find I am not posting for several days. We will also be looking into publicizing this internet harrassment/stalking activity and get some help with the associated internet laws which may have been violated. Frankly, I am having some doubts about them right now too. In the meantime, please be sure you secure an alternate blog and let your readers know what the link is so they can bookmark it should you suddenly be unable to post due to false "spam" claims. Here is a list I have so far of ANTI OBAMA blogs that were collectively blocked on the night of June 25--and their new locations. If you know of more, please post them in the comment section of this post and I will update. Uppity, I wonder if it's everyone on JSND who has blogger? I see that I also have the spam warning and cannot post, but I don't have a diarist / daily news blog so it's a little easier to move around(copy one page and re-post). I just wrote one article, so it is only on the front page and I rarely update. I notice that I can add links and everything is normal on the side of the face page. com/ I never gave permission for them to put my blog on that site. I noticed that the spam rules mentioned something about "Link Spam" and maybe that is part of the problem? I don't know if it is just the O-idiots or if it's because of something else or what. We can do the same to them if they are actually behind it. Also, we can post post certain article on newsline, etc... We should try to contact others and find out the exact cause from blogger. My case was they said they need to review my blog because it might be a spam bot. I have other blogs that contain FAR more links to other blogs and have no problems. One of them is several YEARS old and has a boat load of "mutual" links, so I have no idea what that all means. As for nobamanetwork, a lot of people are asking questionsa about it. I did get a comment from them asking for more information and to put up their logo. SPAM blogs usually are trying to sell stuff and they spam other blogs with their links. Bot spam, which is presumably "my" problem, means you don't really post but run like a bot. Uppity, They did this to me when my article "New American Disenfranchisement" made it to the frontpage at huffpo. Within a couple hours of the front page, my traffic spiked and wham! I contacted sharholder services threatened to sell off my stock, they made a call, and I'm online with a few hours. I now have a private email address to a blogger employee who got me back on-line and I have had no problems in the 15 months since. If anyone wants needs it (pumas or other mccain supporters that is) go to Politically drunk and send me a private email, Ill write you back. He also informed me that my blog was marked as SPAM because of that little Flag button at the top of your page. If too many people flag your blog (don't know the number)the bot automatically shuts you down for review. I don't have the link, but go to the blogger help groups and search for "remove navbar", you will find a couple sites that have posted the html code that will remove the navbar from your webpage, just as I did on my site. You don't even have to confirm who YOU are when you do it. So basically, this shitbums who are just like the shitbum thug they worship, are reporting the blogs using that link en masse. com to see if they're doing anything to change policy to prevent this from happening. I consider this a vulnerability of their platform, and unless they're in the tank for Obama they should correct it (eg change algorithm so that it doesn't actually block posting from something flagged as spam, it at most prompts a review or prompts author to interact with the system before a deadline, but assumes the blog is valid until proven otherwise). Pan, my word verifiation block gives me a link to request a review. I have been word verified blocked from posting or saving my work since June 3 I click the link, fill in the request, get a verification, and find that the verification disappears and I have to start all over again. So even interacting with the "system" means you are interacting with another bot or something. Either that, or there is a google person who loves Obama and that person is having fun with the slime balls who are reporting us. I have even posted to their blog on this subject, as well as their message boards. HOW MANY TIMES do I have to do that before I realize I am taken for a fool? I hope the GOP and its 527s are taking due notice of this Red Guard thuggery to use in their anti-Obama ads, once the Democratic Party nominates their Plastic Jesus and it's too late to change. if they lowered the boom now, the Democratic Party could still switch candidates. I have been sharing some of the comments here over on my blog as well, so people become more aware. I already have one Obama person on my site claiming that this isn't orchestrated, that it's just a computer algorithm, blah blah blah. If approaching the media on this, it might be a good idea to be able to show them exactly how the spam reporting can be abused. I think some people just can't believe this sort of thing could happen here. It is possible that MY case was the bot trace because I had a spitup of technorati links on my blog one day. And here's why: Spam reporting of a blog en masse is as easy as a click. You could turn somebody in 20 times and they wouldn't know it was you. Spam blogs are generally blogs with gibberish and well used search phrases to bring people to the blog. They also tend to collect posts from legitimate blogs and insert them into their spam blog. If you search your blog, you might find a post of yours from your blog inserted into a porn blog. The massive collection of links on a subject are put in these blogs. They harvest other links and other posts to get you there to do clicks. None of the blogs who were locked up fall into this category. I wrote real time software when most of them were having bladder accidents at school. These pisspots think that everybody is an idiot but their own idiotic selves. This isn't about algorithms, it's about being reported as spam en masse. So tell your pisspot Obamazoids who are tossing out what they think are big words, to go and dump the garbage because their parents are sick of carrying their lazy asses. And onc...
