fuzzy logic

I've been using Blogger for years and never been suspected of a 'terms and conditions' violation before. Apparently this blog (but not its sister 314 blog) has been picked up by a bot as a potential spam blog and so I've had to request it be reviewed by a human being to 'unlock it' again. Apart from the mild tech-rage it has provoked in me, it has got me really puzzled as to what characteristics of this blog led the bot up the wrong path... Anyway, I'm glad to see it isn't blocking posts, but there is an extra requirement for word verification (I hate those things - often can't read them!) that I expect will stay in place for a day or two. Spam - pah!
I think it's because everyone was so eager after tutorials and posted articles one after the other, making Blogger think that our account had been hacked by a spammer or something.Smarten up Blogger! Can't you see that these aren't ads for Viagra or REAL Rolex watches :P
Aagh! Don't mention Vi*gra or R*lex or we'll be wiped off the blogosphere for good!
