Anyone else get hit with a trademark complaint for "free rewards" gaming content?
Run a gaming blog, mostly guides and "free rewards" roundups such as how to earn free coins in game X. Got a takedown complaint forwarded by my host last week, a brand protection firm going after a page that had the game's name + "free gold" in the title/URL. 60 hours to fix it or get suspended.
I don't use words like "generator" or "unlimited" and now I've added "not affiliated with X" disclaimers on game specific posts.
Anyone else deal with this? Curious if:
- these fixes actually stop repeat complaints or the bots just keep flagging you anyway
- anyone's run into BrandShield or similar firms before
- it ever goes past a host forwarding a complaint, or if it always just resolves once you comply
- covering big IP like EA makes it worse
Any real experience appreciated, trying to figure out how much of this is just cost of doing business vs actually fixable.
