Google, actually Blogspot, try to improve their spam policy and day by day many blogspot.com blog ends deleted. This is an automatically operation made by some bots which have some standard criteria's for deletion.
What should be done if you get this message:
Hello, Your blog at http://your-blog-name.blogspot.com/ has been reviewed and confirmed as in violation of our Terms of Service for: SPAM. In accordance to these terms, we've removed the blog and the URL is no longer accessible. For more information, please review the following resources: Terms of Service:

Fist, I know it might be a pain if you have a blog where you posted hundreds or thousands of posts and you've worked on it many many hours/days/years. Your traffic goes instantly to zero and also your incomes from adsense or other networks fall.
Take a deep breath as this will take few days to get back your blog IF it was deleted by mistake!
Otherwise think to other solution like starting from scratch with other blog...
Now, the steps I've followed when I received this messages are below:
1. Consider to submit an appeal. Go to your blogspot.com dashboard and you will see on the menu "Deleted Blogs" go there and you will find your blog title with "appeal" next to it.
Selected and submit the appeal as it will help your blog to be reviewed by a Blogspot legal member. See the image below:
2. You can go to https://productforums.google.com on "Something is Broken" section and try to get the Nitecruzr help; he's there always :-)

3. Post a question where you mention exactly the blogspot.com address and that you submitted and appeal

6. They will try to find a copy of your blog with the content to see if respect the rules above or not and after that your blogspot.com blog might be submitted for a review.
Remember that if your blog was deleted and then restored doesn't mean you can't have it deleted again! So take care to review all the posts and also take care what you will post in future.
Also, before you request a review consider to review first all your blogs if you have more than one under your blogspot.com account! Blogspot members might check your other blogs to see if it was a mistake for real and all your other blogs are legit or your run spam or
crapola blogs!!
Take care and keep your blogs clean! I'm starting to clean mine :-)
