Blogger thinks this is spam

After my last post, just moments ago, I noticed that word verification was added to the Blogger post editor for this blog. Apparently Blogger thinks this is spam:

Blogger's spam-prevention robots have detected that your blog has characteristics of a spam blog. (What's a spam blog?) Since you're an actual person reading this, your blog is probably not a spam blog. Automated spam detection is inherently fuzzy, and we sincerely apologize for this false positive.

Before we can turn off mandatory word verification on your posts we'll need to have a human review your blog and verify that it is not a spam blog. Please fill out the form below to get a review.

Find out more about how Blogger is fighting spam blogs.

I hope to get a review soon. Oh, and if the reviewer reads this: word verification seems to break the post preview feature.

Update 2006-01-08: Today my Blog was reviewed and whitelisted. I was just used to the word verification but I guess this is goodbye.

Keep the keep current time checkbox visible

Blogger added an option to toggle post and comment options some time ago. I really don't like this feature, especially not after Improbulus found out that you would get in to trouble when you edit comments and change the time. So I changed the keep current time user script (original post) to keep the post and comment options visible all the time; I want to see what I'm doing.
