After discovering that about 2% of good contributions from tipsters ended up in the spam folder, I started to skim reading the subject line of spam messages a few months back. It is very important that contributors have a descriptive subject line to get my attention. So, last weekend I was skimming through the spam box for the GutterUncensored@yahoo email before everything in there got deleted at the end of the month. And guess what I found? The folks at Google/Blogger finally sent an email after deleting the number one blog on Blogspot about 14 or 15 times without a word. Apparently they sent the email a day after this post was posted on the GutterUncensored.com so I am guessing it got under their skin because nothing is a coincident with these guys. Google/Blogger is watching so I need to be very carefully because they are just looking for an excuse. Here is the message:

Hello,
We wanted to write to you to explain why we took action on the content you
host with Blogger. Below, we will describe the policy issues we found
with your content.
Issue 1: You have violated our spam policies. Our records indicate that
you have created approximately 400 blogs on Blogger. Although we don't
have policies about the number of blogs a single user can author, the
nature of many of your blogs was of concern. This is because: (a) Many of
your blogs consist of content scraped from other sites, and (b) The
content of these different blogs appears to be very similar if not
identical. Our experience is that these are very common spam techniques
and therefore this is against our spam policy.
Issue 2: Last week, GutterUncensored.com was violating our commercial porn
policy. As we state in the Blogger Content Policy, we do allow adult
content on Blogger (although we will put it behind a mature content
warning). We will, however, remove blogs where the primary purpose is to
monetize porn content or to drive traffic to porn sites. In your case,
GutterUncensored was reviewed after being flagged by a user. During our
review process, we found that users visiting your blog encountered an
interstitial of ads for porn sites before proceeding to the blog. This
violated our commercial porn policy.
Thank you.

monetize porn content or to drive traffic to other porn sites. The original purpose of this blog was to kill time during my not so busy work day and to post all the good shit people wanted to see but don't want to spent a whole lot of time searching for it. So they come to the Gutter blog.
And I do not consider the 400 blogs that were created to post the pictures of Edison Chen and his many starlet girlfriends spam. Those blog were created just to piss off Mr. Chen because he had his lawyers emailing me. Readers of this blog since the Edison Hong Kong Sex Scandal might remember I said I was going to create 2,000 blogs with the pictures. About 500 were created on Blogger and some more were created on Wordpress and on Blog.com and on Yahoo 360 and on Multiply. And I don't believe that interstitial ad nonsense about commercial porn policy. It is just a full page ad that is display 10 seconds after the blog is loaded not before.
All that being said, THANKS to the Blogger Team for responding and providing some answers. But I still think people in the Malaysian government was behind some of the bullshit. The GutterUncensored.com has been the # 1 blog on Blogger for many months since last year. so if the "issues" that you guys are pointing to were the reason behind the removal of the blog in February and March then the blog should of been removed 9 months ago when it first became to top blog on your network. Not a day after semi-nude pictures of a popular Malaysian politician from the opposition party were posted. And certainly not a day after compromising pictures of a top minister from the leading party were posted.
P.S.
Blogger Team, in the future please send messages to the email address associated with the blog account. And your messages will not be posted if you ask.
