Ticket Numbers #2

In No Ticket Number For Help Form Entries?, I expressed my dismay in submitting problem reports, and getting back acknowledgement, but without a ticket number.

Today, I submitted a Spam Blog Notification, and got an interesting botmail (and the typo is in my original report):
Re: [#545569] Spam Blog Nitification

Hi there,

Thanks for contacting Blogger Support. We will review your message and respond as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience.

Did they restore the ticket number, and simplify the message content? Or does this vary depending upon which of the selections in the list is used:

  • My blog is gone!
  • I can't post. (I'm on Blog*Spot)
  • I can't post. (I'm on my own server)
  • I can't post pictures.
  • Template or Display Problems
  • Comments and Backlinks
  • Profile Issues
  • Team Blogs
  • Mail Features (BlogSend, Blogger Mobile, Mail-to-Blogger)
  • Add-Ons (Blogger for Word, Picasa, hit counters, etc.)
  • AdSense Issues
  • Blogger is Down!
  • Report a TOS violation
  • Other

Update (13:19 June 22, 2006):
A second botmail, with more detail, suggesting that action is pending?

Hello,

Thanks for writing us regarding this possible Terms of Service violation. We will examine it soon and take action as necessary.

Sincerely,
The Blogger Team

Embedded Comments And Main Page View

The option to display comments, embedded below the post, was made a blog option relatively recently. This was a long requested feature - and many bloggers added it to their blogs, as soon as the option was presented to us. Some blog owners like this feature so much, that they request it to be visible when the blog is opened, in main page view. I would like all comments, and the comment form, to be shown underneath the relevant post, automatically, for everyone to read without clicking on the number of comments link. And this is not how embedded comments work.

What's The URL Of My Blog?

We see the plea for help, periodically I need the URL of my blog, so I can give it to my friends. Help! Who's buried in Grant's Tomb, after all? No Chuck, be polite. OK, OK. The title of this blog is "The Real Blogger Status", and the title of this post is "What's The URL Of My Blog?".

With Following, Anonymous Followers Can't Be Blocked

As people become used to Blogger Following as just another tool to connect people, they start to think about the implications . And we see questions like How do I block someone who's been following my blog secretly? I couldn't see her in my Followers list (hence I couldn't use the "Block this user" link), but I have looked at her profile and could see that she's Following my blog. Following, when you look at the bottom line, is no more than a feed subscription and an icon (possibly) displayed on your blog, and linking back to the profile of the Follower in question. If someone Follows your blog anonymously, all that they get is a subscription to the blog feed. If you publish a feed from your blog, and if the feed is open to anybody (which, right now, is the case ), then it's open to everybody. If someone wants to use Following to subscribe to the feed, you can't stop this. You can't block it before, or after, the fact. You can't Block w
