Any comments?

 I scheduled a post for midnight last night and noticed it wasn’t there. It showed my garden and I commented on how it was becoming full of green as the year progressed. I assumed I had made a mistake in posting until I saw this email. I cannot work out why it deleted at all ! Anyone shine light on this?

  1. Possibly linked to The Greening if America. Counter culture with drugs. Have you any cannabis plants or poppies in your garden? (joking)

  2. Wording of message suggests that your post contains suspicious software embedded or linked to it, not that the subject matter is a problem. Of course it might just be a generic unhelpful message. At the risk of stating the obvious a virus scan might be worthwhile.

  3. Tradgardmastare,

    If your original post had a link to something that might contain malware, I can see why they have deleted it ... but if this isn’t the reason, I cannot understand why they have done it,

    Not the most helpful email, and no doubt there is no way to get more detail.

    All the best,

    Bob

  4. Rather disturbing that there is only a generic message. Might be worth looking at the draft in html mode to see if there are hidden links, the suggestion about antivirus scan is good but if nothing else try changing the title by taking the 'Greening' out?

    Did you follow any of the links to read the no doubt nearli indecipherable guide lines?

    Rather unsettling.......

  5. I had one of these yesterday on one of my garden railway blog posts, the post was later re-instated by blogger 12hrs later as OK after checking. I edited it to check I had no obvious breeches of the content policy, reworded it a bit and put it live again (there was a url link in one of the comments which I removed).

    I am assuming some that my post must have been flagged up by an automatic content checker.

  6. Likewise I had a post removed today about the Variags of Khand... same message as you.

  7. I had tried to visit yesterday and Chrome warned me that the site wasn't safe. It does that sometimes for regular sites, but I would scan your computer nonetheless.

  8. Hi Alan, around midnight last night I looked at my blog and got a warning message - website may be deceptive - and it did the same thing for every other blogspot page I tried to visit. This morning, everything back to normal. I wonder if Blogger and/or Google had a bug in their malware detection systems for a while last night?

    1. Same
      I think it was general issue, not confined to specific blogs or posts. I also think it was probably a glitch on their end.

  9. I had the same notification for two blog posts about crossbowmen for my Lion Rampant collection, with the warning that if 'I' continued to post such malware the whole blog would be deleted! This morning I was notified that the posts had been reinstated. I've no idea why Blogger has its panties in a bunch, but it's ruddy irritating.

  10. Blogger have reinstated it as a draft post and I have posted it.
