content warning on my dashboard

    I have a content warning on my dashboard?

    All in all my blog is fairly boring it is all about the boring details of web design. All examples of code are owned by me. I do have a post tagged blackhat which quotes Google as what not to do – what they call “Thin affiliate” and the penalized for it – Per Google. That is about the most controversial post I have!

    No bad language. Nothing that I would not show in a Church – although the site has no religious information either. I does have a few videos embedded from youtube. nothing controversial. Today I posted a video link to a Social Media success story regarding how Social Media is helping the homeless. And quoted entrepreneurslife.com fairuse quote of a Social Media business success with a link.

    Yesterday “When Link Exchanges Turn Into Bad Neighborhoods” warning about link rot in link exchanges.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Use the link and contact staff about this. They are the only ones that can tell you, and they will not discuss this stuff in the forums.

    As long as your posts have been written by you and not taken from somewhere else, it’s probably a mistake. I’m not staff, but in my opinion there’s nothing I can see which would be a red flag. It’s possible someone saw the word Affiliate and wigged out. Staff will be in touch one way or another.

    Thank you, how long does the process take?

    There’s no way of knowing. Minutes to hours to, in rare cases, days. Just check your email spam file, in case it goes in there as it often does.

    I’m still waiting … afraid this is a deal killer for many businesses that would like to create a business blog.

    I can understand when one gets into controversial issues and politics that emotions come out and people get offended when offense was not intended. However I don’t see any reason to be emotional over if image gradients are better than CSS gradients – the main advantage of CSS is one can animate it as well. But an image can create a better gradient.

    I can also understand using somebodies name in a blog post who has not made a public statement or issued a press release. I guess maybe I am a little rough on Microsoft for not being standards complaint. But this falls into the category of product review and if you want to make a web site one needs to know how Microsoft is different. Actually all the posts on Microsoft also include a workaround. Maybe letting people know about Google’s Chrome Frame for IE 6-8 that allows HTML5 video to be embedded is a little rough on Microsoft.

    This, if it is a mistake, doesn’t happen very often, and staff will respond.

    I’ve pounded on MS a time or two and even pounded on WordPress. As long as it isn’t defamatory there isn’t any problem. I’ve whacked MS for not being standards compliant and blasted them for their large number of browser bugs. Again, if it isn’t defamatory, then you have nothing to worry about. WordPress.COM supports free speech whole-heartedly, much to the chagrin of some that have whined about it here in the forums.

    My feeling is that something mistakenly triggered the filters, but that is just my opinion. If there is a problem then staff will let you know what it is and give you a chance to fix it. If it is a mistake then they will fix that too.
