Blog Locked?
Wanna remain on Google Blogger?
Here is the inside procedure for trying to get your blog unlocked.
- Click "Request Unlock Review" under your locked blog from your Dashboard.
- Wait two days. Click "Request Unlock Review" daily until you get a new form with a word verification fill-in on the bottom. Complete word verification form and submit.
- Wait two days. Go to Blogger Help, Blogger Forums, Something is Broken, and create an entry requesting that your blog be unlocked. YOU MUST INCLUDE YOUR BLOG'S URL ADDRESS. Also mention that you have completed the Word Verification form in your unlock request.
- Repeat steps 2 & 3 until your blog is unlocked.
This can take a week or longer. Took me six weeks.
The secret to the procedure is step #3 which does not appear in anything blogger sends you once your blog is locked. Steps 1 & 2 alone will accomplish NOTHING. Also, you must proceed in the order above.
Information provided by Daddy's boy, blogger of locked blog A Collection of Men. The following link will show you how deadly serious The Powers That Be (as Daddy's boy uses) are.
No doggie do-do (thanks again, dennis), folks, you do it their way or else. By the way, mind reading classes are now offered by Google Blogger so you can learn about step #3 which they never tell you.

Wouldn't it be a lot better to teach Google a lesson? All dump Google and use another Blog Company and thus deprive Google from their advertising revenue that the bloggers really get for them.
@ ANON...many bloggers have left Google. It's only a drop in the bucket. I think Blogger is still the most popular hosting site for blogs. I just wish I could find out exactly why some blogs are locked and others aren't.

as i read in another blog(a pitty that i can't remember in which)the closings are not happening due to the adult material but due to some advertisment pop ups that create the "violation of TOS"

@ FRANZ Blogger is closing all sorts of blogs, not just adult blogs. Mine was locked and than 6 weeks later, after a battle on my part, it was un-locked, and I didn't change a thing. I think the "pop-up" excuse if a lie. I thin Google Blogger uses a spider to run through the blogs and the algorithm for the spider is poorly written. As a result all sorts of blogs are being shut down. I've asked Google about this but they are silent on my question. They also will not tell me why my blog was locked and than unlocked without me making changes. Something is fishy but I still don't know what it is.
No Franznightmare......I still like the menage a trois idea so that would make a much better dream! lol
