A couple of questions have been posted to the Yahoo forum recently about the Word Verification feature on their blogs. Basically, there are a couple of processes that can cause your blog to get flagged. (One is when visitors tick the flag at the top of the blog, another is the Blogger “robot’ scanning your site and determining that your content is Spam. The ‘robot’ is not the most inteligent thing in the world).
Anyway, the blogger help page here, describes the method required to get word Verification turned off.
To avoid further inconveniences when publishing, click the “?” (question mark) icon next to the word verification on your posting form:
Lordy, Chris – what a small world the WWW is 🙂
I was just commenting on this very subject somewhere else in WWW Land – and Lo! (a handy biblical expression to herald the retelling of catastrophic events…) – two of my bloog blogs are currently the victims of “false positives” – these Americans and “their English”, eh?
Cor blimey why can’t they just say they “nawsed it up” ? 🙂
Spooky?
Actually, it took a week, during which they also deleted TWO accounts and six blogs in total! But I did get a nice personal email from someone in Blogger Support saying that the blogs had been flagged up as spam – but now it will never happen again, as she had checked them out personally.
I replied teliing her I was printing off her email and making it into a poster 🙂
