I have a No Security setting on my website pixleyblair.tribalpages.com as I want everyone can access everything on my site. Everything is apparently available to the public except my Stories which have suddenly become blocked?! They were always open before but now when people link to a Story is comes up: "You have turned off your Security Setting on this site. Only an Administrator can view this site... I've done no such thing. 'Have checked my Security Settings which still are No Security Settings. What happened? As I said they have always been open to the public before. What happened. If the No Security setting is set-what else can I do?

We have found that spammers are creating advertisements in the stories section, turning off security and submitting the page to Google search. Hence TribalPages is getting labelled as a spam site by search engines. It is for this reason that we have disabled access to stories on sites without security. We are currently looking on other options (perhaps enable it on paid sites).

The add does not appear on member sites. It's not a problem for members. The offending story only appears in the spammer's site. However, they turn off the security and submit to Google to add to its search index. Hence from Google's point of view TribalPages is endorsing product xyz. This not only diminishes our reputation as a Genealogy service it can also hurt us if the product xyz is fraud.

Hence our goal is to prevent the spammers stories from being visible the the public and hence invisible to Google.

I've spent a great deal of time over the years writing the Stories that appear on my website...they are the backbone of my site telling at length the personal stories of our ancestors with photos etc. Relatives have been so appreciative of them and I frequently send them to others. Then, suddenly to have all of them are enabled-all I get is something about scammers, Google Search, or send to 'paid websites'...whatever that means?!

I don't understand any of this. All I do understand is that all of my years of work, all of my Stories are now blocked for no fault of mine. This can't be brain surgery to correct. And if someone can 'hack' into Stories, then they can also hack into the entire TP website. Hello! To say that I'm unhappy and frustrated is an understatement!

No excuses! Fix it!
