Yesterday I set up the travel blog. Shortly after sending the URL to mates, I received an email from the blog site claiming that it is a "spam blog", so they've locked it. I clicked the link the email and I get this text:
"Your blog is locked
Blogger's spam-prevention robots have detected that your blog has characteristics of a spam blog. Since you're an actual person reading this, your blog is probably not a spam blog. Automated spam detection is inherently fuzzy, and we sincerely apologize for this false positive."
Two things.
- WTF is a "false positive". There is no such thing as a "false positive" - the word they were looking for is MISTAKE. They obviously can't own up to screwing up. Shrub has a lot to answer for.
- If the had have bothered to read the bloody thing, they can see that it's just a travel blog.
- (OK I can't count). If I had have received the email BEFORE distributing the URL, I would have gone elsewhere.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Day "o" pronounced D'oh? Or is that as in "Daylight come an I wanna go home, day o". Sorry Chris, weasels down my shorts at present are not inspiring me to write anything with the level of wit to equal automated messages. Will be donning the twilight ride leader helmet on the 14th to keep the tradition alive. Have fun and keep the pictures rolling in.
