Have I been unlocked?

Well, that was an interesting experience!

For the second time this month, I've had an episode of being "busted" for something online!

First, at my facebook, I asked a question of technical support, and they killed my identity.

"..this account has been disabled because it is not for personal use. Facebook profiles are meant to represent a single individual. Groups, clubs, businesses and other types of organizations are not permitted to maintain an account. We apologize for the inconvenience, but you will no longer be able to use this account. This decision is final."

Not content to delete everything I've done, they also locked my yahoo email address, so I couldn't use it for a different, more acceptable name.

So, okay, I was using "Powell Clan" as my name. I admit it, it sounds like a group. I just am getting the heebie-jeebies about how many online things are linked to my Real Life identity. I didn't want to be in the search, but I didn't want to be invisible either... Since everyone I want finding me online knows me as "Powell Clan" I decided to use that.

Busted!

Then, for reasons that aren't clear to me, this blog tripped the "spammer" switch automatically, and I received this:

Your blog, at http://mistressp.blogspot.com/, has been identified
as a potential spam blog.  For an explanation of what spam blogs are,

You will not be able to publish posts to your blog until we review
your site and confirm that it is not a spam blog.

I am so grateful that these online services are trying to keep us from being overwhelmed by garbage and abuse.

But I find it so amazing that "PENIS ENLARGEMENT" emails and "Moms undressing in parking lot" video "makes the cut" on appropriateness, and somehow my 'umble little blog and "Clan" alias trip the big red flag.

What is up with that?

And I find that my heebie-jeebies are well justified... the technical question I was asking had to do with facebook "going out and finding" a weblink I posted... and ending up publishing information that was in the computer in my closet... but not supposed to be associated with that link.

I may not be long for this cyberworld!
