I am so frustrated today. Blogger.com has deleted my website. According to them it has violated their terms and conditions- particularly on spamming. I am so confused because all my articles there are uniquely created. I don't really know. I hope they restore my account.
The only thing I can remember is that I create my original articles here and post them on Bukisa, too. Could this be the reason?

I don't think that would constitute spamming. Republishing your original article on Bukisa is allowed by the Bukisa admin. And I don't know why Blogger.com should be concerned as the original article is there. You didn't plagiarize anybody's article.
You must have done something else to get your blog deleted by Blogger.com. Did you post any videos from YouTube or other video sharing site? Because some of these videos may have copyright infringements.
Think back to what you've done to make Blogger.com delete your blog. If you don't then you might commit the same mistakes if you want to start another blog with them.

You might find that because the articles have been published twice they don't consider it original material anymore. The other thing you need to have a look at is in the terms and conditions, does it request that the material on your blog is completely original or hasn't been posted anywhere else?
If you're still not sure, have you tried contacting them and asking for a more specific/detailed reason as to why the account has been closed?

Publishing the same article twice is not good, you should always do some changes, even small, not copy-paste. This is duplicated content which is not SEO Friendly and it might be the reason of loosing your account..

The good thing is that you haven't lost your articles! You will find them on bukisa :)
Now you know and you will be carefully :)

I had the same problem before. I also did not know what I spammed or exactly where I did wrong. I did not even do what you did as I haven't been writing articles then but I have since created new sites and I'm not using blogger anymore. I was really traumatized with what they did especially since I was making a lot of effort in creating my blog, writing articles and customizing and improving the look of the site. It was just so frustrating afterwards. Anyway, I have since moved on and now, I just consider it as another lesson learned. Don't be too trusting and always back-up your files. That way, you won't lose anything.
By the way, I don't think your reposting an article was the reason your site was deleted.
