Anyone else spam-locked by Blogger?

I went to post today and was notified that I could not until I had my blog - http://legbamel.blogspot.com - reviewed to prove that it wasn't a spam blog. As far as I can tell, there is nothing on my blog that would trigger such a designation and they don't tell you why they've done it. I'm hoping that at least the old posts are visible while I'm locked. I started some new promotional efforts and now new visitors will see only old posts! Has anyone else been locked out as a spam blog by Blogger? If so, how long did it take for you to get back in and did they ever tell you why it happened? I left a message at the Help Group, but I understand that the admin folks over there are less than responsive. I'd really appreciate some feedback. Thanks!

Yes, this just happened to me as well. I don't understand why. It is kind of embarrassing since I told my friends and family about it and now when they go there, there is not going to be any blog. All mine is, is some links to articles and reviews of mine that I have written for sites like Epinions, and Associated Content, and a referal link to the MyLot.

They reviewed mine and got it back up in three days. I think it's like the tax system - a certain percent of people get audited, whether or not they've done anything wrong. Good luck!
