ABOUT THE NEW FLAG AT THE TOP
I wrote this when our blogger friend 'Diamondkt' was gone but I thought you would get a little chuckle out of it anyway.
Have you used the new flag at the top of the page yet?? I have and I didn't like the results.
So be careful when you do use it, you better know what to do because just like most everything on blogger it is an automated tool.
The ad's people are putting on other peoples comment sections are becoming annoying. My grandson has had two of them on his comment section that were so long you wouldn't believe it. You had to scroll down forever to find the rest of your real comments. I deleted the first one for him, but he just got another one equally as long and I seem to be getting bombarded by them.
So, the other day I thought I would report them to blogger and see if they could put a stop to it.
This is what I get for never reading things thoroughly!
I was in my comment section thinking that I could hit the flag and something would come up so that I could give a report on being constantly spammed thus reporting them - NOT !
You must be on that persons site of whom your objection is , to report them and it won't work for spammer ad's because when you are on their site there is nothing objectionable just their ad. GET IT?
Since there is no objectionable language being used or no porn on that site there will be no action taken against them by hiting the flaag.
If your a dummy like me, don't be hitting the flag unless you are absolutely sure of what you are doing because the Flag only works for one thing. Reporting the site you are on, at the time you are on it. So it's pretty much only going to work for something like porn or maybe really objectionable language.
Anyway all this dummy did by hitting the flag was report herself as being an objectionable blog to view and no way to cancel it either.
YUP, YUP, YUP, I repoted myself! I tried to fix it but it is almost impossible to get thru to anyone , even by e-mail other then an automated response.
ONE BIG STRIKE AGAINST THE DUMMY!
I hope where ever you are Diamondkt, you are reading this and having a good laugh, See what happens when you go away. I already screwed up without my TECH GURU.
I now have a new tittle for sure , I am now 'EXSENO the DUMB'.
I do however have a plan to gain my old title back - in that automated e-mail it says if none of these answers help you e-mail us at this address and we will get to you as soon as we can. So I will, if it works I'll let you know, but only if it works. I have a feeling it won't . I had problems when I first opened this site and e-mailed them and that was 8 months ago and never heard from them, so I think maybe the phrase "We will get back to you as soon as we can", means -
-- NEVER !
Buy the way I did hear from them this time and they said don't worry about the flag, since they have'nt perfected it yet most of them aren't working anyway. lol Click away people, click away at least it will make you feel better.

Hey Exseno, check out the new anti-spam feature blogger has for comments. It looks easy to use. It makes people enter a code before they can leave a comment, so the automatic spam won't get through.
I'm using haloscan for my comments, and it has a good spam reporting and domain blocking system. I like it.
Good luck,
Tor
HAHA! I love it. Don't feel dumb though. I can see how you could of gotten confused.
Yeah the "flag" is just to report the site you are currently on. If you are trying to report any other blogger or blog problem, you have to do it by other means.
Good news is that awhile back I read about Blogger stating that they need more than 1 report of a site to take action. That is to prevent some kid who wants to be a jerk surfing thru random blogs and clicking on the flag button hoping it will take the blog down just for the hell of it.
Blogger needs to have several reports on the same site before they will even LOOK at the site and THEN decide if they need to take any action. So you are safe EXSENO...unless they accept my report I sent in about your blog! Joking. :)
Hey there
Another thing to ease your mind is that you can unflag the site you've flagged if you change your mind about it. So if you still have your own site as 'flagged' that button should have changed to 'unflag'. Just click and worry no-more:)
I have never even noticed the flag thing....
Exseno, only use "word verification" only if you have to!
Exseno- thank you so much for all your support with Buddy. It really does wonders to know that you understand, and know how much it hurts inside. Thanks so much for reading/listening and being supportive!!!!
I agree with 'tor' there....
Haloscan is the best ..... try it to avoid annoying word verification thing.
What a HOOT! I am sitting here in whoops.
I feel for you on the TECH thing! Like we even KNOW what a holoscan is. Is it that thingy that Princess Leah sent a message to Obi One Kenobi? Obi One, you're our only hope!
Gina,
It's the comment section that is in a box , You know the little square box pops up. I think you already have it.
Thanks for coming back after such a long time
Okay... so how did I get it? Is it catching? LOL
Thanks for pointing that out to me, though. I've noticed that some comment boxes are different than others and had no idea that was why.
Okay... back to work! I've got so much to catch up on I'm looking at my back right now and chasing my tail.
Thank you Shirazi
