a spammer i am not!

my first post in here, and it is a claim defending my honour. i just received an email notification on my hiptop saying some shit about my blogspot, which i only just created the other night, and to my complete and total puzzlement, they apparently think i am a spammer. so i go to my laptop and log into my gmail, which is where my blogspot emails are sent to (i then filter them to the email on my phone), and i further inspected the message:


Hello,

Your blog at: http://julefrog.blogspot.com/ has been identified as a potential spam blog. To correct this, please request a review by filling out the form at http://www.blogger.com/unlock-blog.g?lockedBlogID=6040533502115948720

Your blog will be deleted within 20 days if it isn't reviewed, and you'll be unable to publish posts during this time. After we receive your request, we'll review your blog and unlock it within two business days. If this blog doesn't belong to you, you don't have to do anything, and any other blogs you may have won't be affected.

We find spam by using an automated classifier. Automatic spam detection is inherently fuzzy, and occasionally a blog like yours is flagged incorrectly. We sincerely apologize for this error. By using this kind of system, however, we can dedicate more storage, bandwidth, and engineering resources to bloggers like you instead of to spammers. For more information, please see Blogger Help: http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=42577

Thank you for your understanding and for your help with our spam-fighting efforts.

Sincerely,

The Blogger Team


i assure you, seeing as how i am new to this world of blogspot and am simply here to write about my band during our trials and tribulations on tour, i am not a spammer, i have no intentions of spamming, trolling, or committing any other dishonourable actions. unless swearing is against the rules. fuck.

so please, blogspot.com person who is reviewing this page and hopefully reading this, do not delete my blog. that would suck.

yours truly,
julian jonsson
