Subject: Possible Terms of Service Violation
I created a blog on June 03, 2007.  A few days ago I received the
message that my account was under review due to possible Blogger Terms
of Service Violations.  The only thing I know is my daughter was
trying to log in to update under my account and she used the wrong
sign in information.  I don't understand what is wrong in order to fix
problem.  I changed my password thinking I had to reset but I'm still
under review.

Can someone help me?  I created the blog but do not have a lot of
computer experience to understand what to do.

Thanks.

A little more info.

Where do you see this? In your dashboard? When you go to the blogs
url? What IS the blogs url?

Depending if it's actually locked for review, there are options in
your dashboard to request that it be reviewed and unlocked.

When I try to access the website "http://patti43215.blogspot.com" I
receive a screen that says'  Under review due to possible blogger
terms of service violations & is open to authors only.  So, I sign in
to get to the blog, but I cannot update the blog, nor can others see
it.

I don't now what url is but I gave you my website in case that's what
it is.

Thanks for trying to help me.

Heh, well url is the http://patti43215.blogspot.com/
so that's what I was angling for. :-)

Odd. When I goto your blog already signed into blogger, it let's me
in. I can see it. But going from a different browser (that isn't
signed into blogger) then I see the message you are receiving. But
apparently anyone with a blogger account can then sign in and see it.

Well obviously this is a mistake, and you are doing nothing wrong.
Blogger uses automated bots to look for spammers and such, and
sometimes they get real people unfortunately. This is one of those
cases, your baby blog has done nothing wrong. So don't stress that you
did...it's the robots mistake.

Once you go to the url, you can sign in ok correct? What about when
you then go to the Blogger dashboard (where you make your posts, etc)
http://www.blogger.com/home

>From there, there should be a message saying that it's locked for

review, with a link to contact support and request it be unlocked. It
should be clearly marked, and hard to miss. Easiest thing is to find
that, and request the review...they usually respond lately fairly
quickly to those, and unlock it withing 24-48 business hours (starting
mon)

There are several different states that a blog can be locked down in,
and where the link is located to request the review is a bit different
for each. But I think yours should be very visible if you goto the
dashboard. If you still can't see it there, I'll dig it up, I got the
information somewhere. You can always go through the regular blogger
support form, but it's probably best to do it direct from the link in
your dashboard for it, assuming we can find it. :-)

And congrads on the coming addition. Don't stress on this too much,
like I said you did nothing wrong, just technical issues. It can be
sorted soon enough. Let me know if you find that request link in the
dashboard or not.

Ah, I think I found what I was looking for.

If you don't see the link in your Blogger Dashboard , should be under
a message saying that the account is locked with a "Contact Support"
link, then try this

http://www.blogger.com/unlock-blog.g?blogID=4702489582401916929

Note, you have to be logged into Blogger with your account before that
will take you to the unlock form. At least I think that's the correct
format. If so, it will tell you what to do.

Wasted,

It worked.  They'll review my account and get back to me in 24 to 48
hours.  Thank you so much for helping me.  Patti :-)

Hi, I'm having the same problem now. I got the error:

"Possible Blogger Terms of Service Violations
This blog is under review due to possible Blogger Terms of Service
violations and is currently unpublished. You can view your blog's
posts here in Blogger, but you may not make any changes."

I am not aware of any action or content in my blog that could possibly
violate the Blogger Terms of Service (and my blog is like 1 week
old!). I did not get any option to write anyone from contact info or a
link to request unblocking. :(

When I tried the unblock link posted on this thread (http://
www.blogger.com/unlock-blog.g?blogID=4702489582401916929), I got this
error: " We're sorry, but we were unable to complete your request."

I've been trying to surf the blogger website for a relevant contact
info but to no avail.

Hope you can help me.

OH! After a few minutes of waiting, blogger finally displayed my
dashboard again and I found the link to request for unblocking.

FYI, blogger's explanation is that my site was being suspected to be a
spam site.

I got this message today -- about 5 minutes after I sent an email to
*ALL* of my contacts telling them to check out my new site.
I put up http://free-video-tutorials.blogspot.com with a ton of self-
made video computer tutorials.  Apparently I posted enough that they
thought I was creating some sort of SPAM blog.  Now I am answering
20-30 emails trying to explain that my blog isn't really "under
investigation" -- I wish they had used a different description.

Anyway, I requested that it be unlocked, but it's still REALLY
embarassing.

If I didn't have so much setup involved, I would probably migrate over
to WordPress myself.

Anyway, thanks for the help!

Robert

saw (with no idea where to send the message):
