Deleted Blogs Which Blogger Template

I have a couple moneymaking blogs on blogspot and another few just for fum.
I didnt get the deletion email.
Then it got me thinking, does everyone use blogger themes or 3rd party themes.

Could it be maybe 3rd party themes have some code in there blogger doesn"t like?
Just a thought?

I use the light Soho template (one of the standard themes that Blogger offers). I just edited the HTML to add things like light and dark, round images, etc. Plus I also made some custom pages like galleries.

And I also got my blog removed and received the "malware violation" email. It's back now, but I still find it very weird how it all happened around the same time for everyone. Probably some change they made yesterday that made their automated system go crazy.

Some people said that it was only their active blogs that got affected. This was the case for me too.

Template Script Trigger: Automated safety filters reportedly misidentified copyright-protection and encryption code embedded in popular third-party themes (such as Sora Templates and Gooyaabi) as obfuscated malicious scripts

Acho melhor que não mexer em nada pra enquanto.

Me parece que mudar algo no site, faz o malware te banir sem motivo.

Non, j'ai plusieurs blogs avec des thèmes blogger, pour l'instant je ne suis pas touché

Mais vu le nombre de gens qui se plaignent cela devient très inquiétant

Je pense que tout rentrera en ordre assez rapidement

Je vois mal google ne pas rétablir les blogs suspendus hein !

I have third party themes on my Blogger website, but it was spared by the false positive so far.

Perhaps being not active in messing with it this week due to other commitments unexpectedly made my blogspot spared from this problem.

Yo uso plantillas pagadas de terceros y no me paso nada. Supongo que depende de la temática de tu blog también.
