兩天來的煎熬

週日中午，當我寫好一篇有關電影的網誌，正要按最後一次 SAVE NOW，準備離開時，嗌！為甚麼 BLOGGER 要我做 WORD VERIFICATION 呢？當時沒有深究，就打入一組 BLOGGER 的英文字母，網誌 SAVE 好，就登出離場去食下午茶餐。

晚上回家，打開 GMAIL，收到一封由 BLOGGER 發出的電郵：

Your blog at: http://mindnecessity.blogspot.com/ has been identified as a potential spam blog. Your blog will be deleted in 20 days, and your readers will see a warning page during this time.

當登入 BLOGGER 後，DASHBOARD 同樣出現一個 WARNING，說明我的 網誌已經被 LOCKED，不能再 POST 新文。當然第一時間 CLICK 入我已 PUBLISHED 的網誌查看，有沒有 DELETE 哂我以前的文字，但又要我做 WORD VERIFICATION，就是這樣子，每一個 MOVE，我都要做 WORD VERIFICATION 才成，好在舊的已發表的網文還在，而寫好儲起的網誌尚存。

再遁 BLOGGER 找到以下的說明：

Is spam permitted on Blogger?

What Are Spam Blogs?
As with many powerful tools, blogging services can be both used and abused. The ease of creating and updating webpages with Blogger has made it particularly prone to a form of behavior known as link spamming. Blogs engaged in this behavior are called spam blogs, and can be recognized by their irrelevant, repetitive, or nonsensical text, along with a large number of links, usually all pointing to a single site.

Spam blogs cause various problems, beyond simply wasting a few seconds of your time when you happen to come across one. They can clog up search engines, making it difficult to find real content on the subjects that interest you. They may scrape content from other sites on the web, using other people’s writing to make it look as though they have useful information of their own. And if an automated system is creating spam posts at an extremely high rate, it can impact the speed and quality of the service for other, legitimate users.

What We’re Doing About Spam
Needless to say, we do not approve of spamming here at Blogger. Below are some of the things we’ve implemented to remove and reduce spam on our service. We will update this list as we continue our efforts.

Automated spam classifying algorithms keep spam blogs out of Next Blog and out of our “Recently Published” list on the dashboard.

The same classifiers are used to require an extra word verification field on the posting form for potential spam blogs. This makes it harder for spammers to set up automated systems to do their posting, since a human needs to complete this step.

Why is my blog disabled?
If your blog is disabled, it will be listed on your Dashboard, but you will not be able to click on it to access it. The disabling is a result of our automated classification system marking it as spam.

就是這樣子，我的網誌就被 BLOGGER 無端端 LOCKED UP了，那我就唯有向 BLOGGER 擴議，依照來郵地址將電郵發出了，但這是美國的週日，天曉得他們有沒有人理會我呢？

卒之等了兩天，週二今早再嘗試 LOG IN BLOGGER，發覺在 DASHBOARD 的 WARNING 不見了，再登入 GMAIL，BLOGGER 連電郵都懶發，一句 APOLOGY 都冇，唯有算了吧，幸好 TEST 過一番後，一切如常，謝天謝地！

結束兩天來的煎熬，不過我再不單方面絕對相信 BLOGGER 了，我昨天在 WORDPRESS 開了個相同名字的『網誌』，把所有的都 IMPORT 了過去，以後我每週都會 IMPORT 一次，暫時當作 BACK UP，以後再作打算罷。
