My blog blocked as "dangerous"

Posted: 19-Apr-2022 | 7:04AM · 9 Replies ·

My blog https://shoshiplatypus.com has been blocked as "dangerous." This is a personal blog and there is nothing dangerous about it. I have appealed twice to Norton and am informed that their decision stands. The second time I filled in their form and asked why it has been blocked - if there is something wrong perhaps I can fix it? I got the same reply, that their decision stands. This is obviously all done with an algorithm or a bot. I am really frustrated that I cannot communicate with a real person. I really want to get this problem sorted out and to have my blog accessible again.

Can someone please help me with this? Norton? Anybody there? I have appealed twice and still getting nowhere. There is nothing wrong with my site. I have run it through two separate online checkers and every aspect is coming up clean. I am now unable to edit my posts and am getting this infuriating red banner every time I move to another page even in the private areas of my blog (writing posts, uploading photos etc etc). This is completely doing my head in and I am fed up with having no answers to why this is happening or what to do about it.

Thank you. About time. It would have been nice to know what caused this very irritating problem in the first place. It's been a real struggle to get it restored. I hope I can rely on Norton not to block my blog again.

This still has not been resolved! I am continuing to get the red banner saying it is dangerous. What is going on?
