A few days ago I received the following message from Google.
Anyone that followed me on Google+ knows that I never posted nudity, no tits, no nipples, no excessive ass, no crotch shots, nothing like that. Apparently they have their censorship bots set on "Puritan" and while (for example) 27% side ass or side boob flesh is acceptable, 28% is WAY over the fucking limit and they "flag" that post. So, acting like children they have a "3 Strikes Rule" and after your 3rd strike, they delete your profile. Of course you have no idea what post "violated" their hypersensitive "feelings", so there is no way to avoid posting similar content in the future, if you don;'t even know what it was that offended them in the first place.
When they send you a "warning" it looks like the following:
Your Google+ content has violated the Google+ User Content and Conduct Policy, which is against the Google+ Terms of Service. As such, your content has been removed or blocked.
Content type: Post or comment
Reason for removal: Sexually Explicit Material
Content identifier: z12nsbuoqa5dn5uh221cngooqrbf3xzx04
Certain removal reasons may result in your content being visible either only to you, or only in certain countries. Sincerely, The Google+ Team
Notice the "Content identifier number"...it is not something you can search for, its not something that relates to a particular photo that you labeled or titled...so it means nothing. Anyway, for a few days, I could not access my blog dashboard panel so I assumed this blog was "dead". Then today, I "rejiggered" my profile, and it allowed access to the panel. So, unless Google decides to kill this blog (which they have done in the past) I'm back to being my normal obnoxious self. :)
Well I think stuff like this is the reason G+ never became the rival to Facebook that they wanted it to be....
ReplyDeleteI lost access on my first Blog and as a result started a second Blog and got access again!!!!
It's funny when I consider how much raunchy porn I have seen posted to G+ by some people who follow me and they don't seem to get caught.....I'm pretty sure my original account got killed by a pic of a chastity cage....but I'll never know because as you said, they don't tell you which one did it!!!!
They say they're shutting the whole thing down in a few months anyway and as long as you still have your wonderful little blog here where you can be our Queen I'll be here....on my knees....your faithful servant....and loyal follower
Love

I had not heard that they were thinking of shutting it down. They might as well as I don't think its ever had much traffic or use. Either way, I do appreciate your kind words about my blog. :)
DeleteHail to the Queen! :)
ReplyDeleteHail? Like as in...inclement weathe, with ice balls dropping from the sky? :)
