Got a warning about the content of my blog

    HI, I got a warning of the content of my blog. It is a private blog, just for me and no guests. It is a scientific blog researching something. I have no idea why I got the warning. It doesn’t have any nudity or anything like that. It might show the bodies of people but just the medical problems they have and the pictures are screened already by Photobucket which removes any nude pictures even medical ones. So I don’t think it’s related to that.

    I am not going to send this blog to cyberspace. I am just using it for my own research and after the research is finished I might delete it. The medical section is only small and that is the only section that shows any naked torsos (but no private parts) eg. just the back of a woman with wounds, and Photobucket had deleted some already.

    So I don’t know how:
    1) Anyone saw my blog as it’s only visible to me
    2) And if they did somehow gain access to it, why it would reported as offensive, as it is not a porno site, but a scientific research site.

    I have sent a message back when I saw the warning message (there was a link where I could click and leave a message).

    Could it have something to do with my running out of space? I have used about 66 pages and I have included many pictures in it. Could that be the problem?

    I am worried that the blog could be deleted and years of research wiped out.

    I repeat, I do not know what could be offensive about it; it is scientific research with mostly boring stuff on it and the only offensive thing might be the naked torsos of injured people but they do not show anything revealing – just normal pictures of people you would see in a medical textbook and mainly they are covered up except for their back, shoulder – that type of thing.

    This is NOT a matter for posting to a public forum. Volunteers have no role to play in this process. This is between you and Staff. You have a warning notice on your dashboard with a link in it. Please click that link and be patient while waiting for Staff to get to you.

    @bobtailcat, if you have contacted them, they will get back to you. Since it is the weekend, it might be monday before you hear from them.

    It could also be a mistake. That’s happened before.

    Thanks for the replies. I just wanted to speculate what the possible problems might have been.

    No idea @bobtailcat. As TT suggests, it could also be a mistake.
