Today I found out Google locked a blog I just created "Nostradamus 3.0" stating I violated Blogger's Terms of Service when I haven't even published an entry or even developed a blog template. I've done a search with Google and checked it's domain name through GoDaddy.com and came up with nothing, which prompted me to obtain this blog name "Nostradamus 3.0" since I wasn't stepping on anyones toes and it was available. Sad the people at Google didn't research this using their own service.
Google stated in my account dashboard "You may not publish new posts until your blog is reviewed and unlocked," but like I stated above, I haven't published anything! What the hell are they smoking?!!!
I requested a review of Nostradamus 3.0 since Google threatened to delete my undeveloped blog within 20 days. Has this happened to anyone else? I hope this doesn't have anything to do with the New York Times article I linked to at the top of my blog. All I wanted to do was to create a humorous virtual Nostradamus, not based on death and destruction, but the complete opposite.
Google, I'll appreciate it if you unlock my blog Nostradamus 3.0, and for the future, until CERN brings back the real Nostradamus from the past so you could put him on your payroll, don't jump to conclusions locking and deleting other blogs assuming they might break your Terms of Service! Wait for something illegal to happen before you play Big Brother!
Update: I just discovered an email Google's Blogger Team sent me, accusing my blog of being a potential spam blog. POTENTIAL! You see kids, that's why you should say no to drugs, unless you're applying for a job at Google.
