I woke up this morning to find five emails from Google Blogger telling me that posts had been deleted because they violated Google's terms on Viruses and Malware. What? A weather script for Conky? A post describing how I added memory to my laptop? Either somebody is injecting malicious code into Blogger posts, or this is an error, I thought. My best guess is it's a false positive detection of malicious content by Google. A quick Google found several people who had experienced the same issue on Blogger Help.
I got an email this morning that one of my blog posts was deleted for going against community guidelines.
I literally post about nail polish and using all my own images so there is no way it breaks any rules, so I’m confused and a little annoyed that it’s been totally deleted not just turned to draft so I can’t recover any of what I had written. Is there anything I can do about this or stop it happening again?!
I had written a blog yesterday about my son's battle with cancer and somehow received a phishing warning on my blog site.I'm not even entirely sure what happened or how this happened, but my Thursday, May 13th post was deleted by blogger saying I had violated their malware and viruses policy.I'm so confused by all of this and not sure if it was a link to a resource or what exactly was the cause of this - I link many medical terms regarding his diagnosis so people can learn more about them. But since this was completely deleted I don't have a way of recovering this blog (which is basically a journal of my son's cancer battle).Is there a way I can obtain this basic text from blogger or even from cached files on my local computer? I seem to be at my wit's end.
Hi: your posts may have been removed in error.Blogger is aware of the issue and working on a fix.
UPDATE: I received emails to say that my posts have been reinstated (without explanation or apology), but the posts seem to have been reinstated as drafts. I hit the Publish button for all of them, so hopefully they are up again.
