My blog does not appear in the reader
-
How do you appeal a flag? How can I get a false flag removed? How can I get my blog to appear on the reader–I’m doing everything right. My blog is not mature–no porn, etc.
Please help, this is not fair.The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Your most recent post has a combined total of 16 Categories/Tags.
http://pervertedwisdom.com/2014/03/06/how-to-really-get-tough-on-them-russians/
The second most recent has 19.
http://pervertedwisdom.com/2014/03/04/jokes-about-crimea-russia-and-ukraine/The combined categories and tags you assigned to it exceed the allowed limit. All reasons for non-appearance of posts on Topics pages can be found here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/topics/#missing-posts
As you have assigned a combined total that exceeds 15 Categories/Tags to your posts, you need to edit and delete. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/ After removal of the excess categories and/or tags note it may take several days for your posts to begin displaying there.
You are inadvertently spamdexing AKA tag spamming. And, you ought to be more concerned about your posts not appearing and being well ranked on Google and Bing SERPS (search results pages) than not appearing on the WordPress.com Topics pages, because it’s search engines that send a significant flow of traffic to blogs and they can choose to bury your content where the sun don’t shine for tag spamming.
The rule of thumb is to assign the least, not the most, combined number of only relevant categories and tags that accurately describe the post content.

Thank you Madam for your prompt and helpful reply–didn’t realize I went over 15 tags…
Have I been flagged as “Mature?” I wrote a piece a long time ago called “Future Fucked” (a play on the book title “Future Shocked”)–is that enough to get flagged? thanks again -
No obscene language is not enough to have a blog tagged for mature content. See here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/mature-content/
I don’t know if the blog has been flagged as mature content or not. Only Staff can answer that and I tagged this thread for their response. Know that there are many threads tagged for Staff attention and the answer may take some time to be forthcoming. Subscribe to this thread and you will be notified when they reply.

Well then, extra thanks for taking the time to help when you’re not even staff! Very charitable of you, and much appreciated!
As you advised, I will subscribe and await the answers from the out-of-reach staff. Glad you have access to them. ty again, AB -

Well, it’s there now, so I guess I was not flagged and I guess TimeThief is right–I was putting too many Tags + Categories (you have to add the two together-doh!).
Thanks again, chrono-crook! I’m going to mark this as closed, so WordPress staff can move on to other blogger problems. -
