Issues with Squidoo.com Create a Lens

Am I the only one having issues with creating squidoo lenses? I emailed the squidoo team alerting them to the fact that I have tried to create a lens on several different occasions. Each time I attempted to create a lens I was told it is on the 'Squidon't'.

This issue started about 1 month ago when I was attempting to create my GoGo Inflight Internet Review. I was told it was a squidon't article so I moved along. After 2 weeks I decided to give the same review a try and was allowed to write my lens. I was unsure why I was given permission to write the same exact lens two weeks later, but I was happy I could write so I didn't bother looking further into it.

For the past week I have tried desperately to write about Tablet PC's. I have attempted 20 separate lens names and was rejected each time. Once again, I thought it had something to do with the genre, or type of lens I was writing so I decided to try something else. This afternoon, for kicks, I decided to see if I could write an 'Ode to the Neard' - I thought it might be funny to recognize the 'neck-beard' or 'neard' (pronounced neerd) as a form of fashion for Men. I am almost certain this would not be something that is a restricted topic to write about on Squidoo.com, however I was rejected again!

Just now I attemted to write 'Update to an Initial Lens Review' and was greeted by this:

Whoops! It looks like you were creating a lens about one of our SquidDon't topics (which means, for the most part, banned spam or illegal or pornographic content).

You've been taken back 
to try again on a different, friendlier topic. Sorry for the hassle.
P.S. If you've read our SquidDon't policy and think you're seeing this page in error, you're welcome to let us know

What AM I DOING WRONG? Has my account been compromised? Have I been locked out of creating lenses? Does anyone have any details on this?


I have already written to squidoo's team but I do not know when I will receive a response. I am very frustrated today and if anyone out there in the blog universe can explain what is going on, I would be very appreciative.
