Google suspended Finnish Pirate Party blog

I just got back from the founding meeting of the Finnish Pirate Party - everything went well: we now have a chairman, a party leadership of seven people (me one of them), and an official party agenda. Around 30-40 people were present, and Rick Falkvinge, the founder of the Swedish Pirate Party, was also there. Together with one of the other party leaders, Dragu, I liveblogged the event in Finnish, managing to rack up 38 entries and over 400 unique hits during a span of two days.

The 400 hits was pretty good for a blog that's only been around for two days, and I'm pretty content with how it turned out. Just one problem, though. Today, when I was coming back from the meeting, I found out that Blogger (which is owned by Google) had suspended the blog. There was the following message:

This blog has been locked and unpublished due to possible Blogger Terms of Service violations. You may not publish new posts until your blog is reviewed and unlocked.

This blog will be deleted within 20 days unless you request a review.

Clicking on the "request unlock review" link, I was greeted with a message explaining that the blog had been automatically flagged as a suspected spam blog. I personally find this a bit odd - sure, a lot of the posts were brief and they came within a short period, but the whole thing had a whole of three offsite links (to pictures taken from the meeting). This is probably just a malfunctioning algorithm, but it's amusing to imagine that this could have been an attempt by The Forces of Copyright to shut us down. :) Dragu has e-mailed them about the topic, but received no response so far.
