blog and account suspended
-
“Do you honestly think the staff has time to pussyfoot around with the vast numbers of people who do not read instructions that have been provided, and engage in correspondence initiated by them… to try get you to follow the rules they laid out from the start?”
@fracas
If the staff has no time to send an email when there is an important problem, then I honestly think they provide a very bad service to users.
I repeat that I did not receive any email from the staff, everyone is free to not believe me.@raincoaster
I have never stolen anything in my life. I only referenced posts from other blogs in my blog, and I would like to discuss about it with the staff because I’m not sure to completely understand the Tos.
I would like to know wich of my posts in the blog was supposed to not respect the ToS, but it seems impossible to get a simple information from them.
If I made a mistake it wasn’t my intention and if the mistake affects a small part of the blog I don’t understand why they delete the whole blog.It seems to me that everybody in this forum is happy that my blog has been deleted.
I wish you to never have a similar problem. -
“Try taking some personal responsibility for the fact you didn’t read the TOS before you started. It’s called live and learn.”
I have read the TOS before starting the blog and I have read it again after they deleted my blog. The Tos is not clear to me, this is why I contacted the support and I wrote in this forum many times.
I would like to learn if somebody would answer all the questions I wrote in this forum and in the mails I sent to support.
But there is no way to get some information.
I hope that now the problem is more clear to everybody because I only receive foolish answers or offensive affirmations based on falsehood and no helpful information. -
And that.. for those who don’t know me, isn’t a flame. It’s how I present such dilemnas to my teens. Life is about learning from your mistakes. Take responsibility for them, learn and move on.
it doesn’t look like the OP said he needs any of that moral teaching, or like this forum is supposed to be a boot camp. so why don’t just one save that jaws (360 words) for the teens of their own?
what the OP did say, in fact, is that he just wants to get his own data back.

Actually I kind of think that is rude that they just deleted your blog.
They should leave a export thing, atleast.Thats kind of scary they can just erase you like that with no warning or anything. I’ve been thinking about getting a wordpress.org thing too. That means that i’m all by myself right? Like no big company controls me i’m making the blog on my own.

> I’ve been thinking about getting a wordpress.org thing too.
besides WP, there are quite a few of other freeware toys on the yard. just pick up which one that has more value for you.
> That means that i’m all by myself right? Like no big company controls me i’m making the blog on my own.
before buying a service, check up the ToS of your web hosting provider and ask all the potential questions, search their support forums and certainly other references (forums could be policed and folks hanging in there may be way too fanboy-ish and mislead you).
-
Like any service, it is best to read the Terms of Service for sure to find out what is allowed and what is not. It seems to me that since you are agreeing to it, you might as well read it! That being said, I think this discussion is getting personal and we should end it right here please.

Constructive feedback?
I’m scatching my head in wonderment and wondering if there isn’t some kind of cultural gap here. So what’s the real issue? A blog scraping thief wants his ill gotten gains back. My answer is: no way!
(1) His data is stolen blog posts and he expects to get the stolen goods back. Get real!
(2) Worse still some seem to expect Mark to sort and sift through “data” and retain and restore only the data which was not stolen.
(3) So what if he paid for css editing. He can have the css editing applied to another blog.I’m strongly in favor of these people have their ability to post to this forum “disabled” at the same time as their blogs are suspended.

As wank points out here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=18193
this and other bloggers with “suspended” blogs can fish their content out of Google’s cache. Example: site:farodeinaviganti.wordpress.com -
I’m strongly in favor of these people have their ability to post to this forum “disabled” at the same time as their blogs are suspended.
If support is closed, then their only way of asking why their blog was suspended is posting on the forum. A couple of weeks ago several bloggers had their blogs suspended because of a glitch. Support could be closed and so how would the administrators know what’s going on in order to fix the problem, TOS violation or not?
-
Yes mymyspacelayouts you are right. Timethief, you are acting like the gestapo or something. The wordpress police or something.
How do you even know that wordpress didnt make a mistake? As another individual blogger i think roscre deserves the benefit of the doubt.
-
As much as this could turn into a ‘Let’s all hate Timethief’ thread, it doesn’t really matter. I do agree with her to an extent though, as threads about suspension/ToS problems and the like pretty much always end up several pages long and forum volunteers can’t change a thing anyway.
But as you point out and as pointed out somewhere else there are always genuine errors which could’ve let to this. And I’m all for second chances and so on.
Again though: We are pretty much all volunteers who have no access and it’s much easier getting hold of support via email/support form/etc.

“I’m strongly in favor of these people have their ability to post to this forum “disabled” at the same time as their blogs are suspended.”
@timethief
What do you think about shooting or hanging immediately the people who are suspected to violate the TOS? :-)I only learned from this bad experience that WordPress in not the right place to create a blog.

If support is closed, then their only way of asking why their blog was suspended is posting on the forum. You know that this is absolutely untrue. You know this because you yourself have given out the email address posted above.

I have a right to my opinion just as you have a right to yours.
(1) As volunteers can be of no service to bloggers with suspended blogs other than to provide these links and to direct the affected party to contact the staff member that suspended their blog ie. Mark.http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/06/01/my-blog-has-been-suspended/
http://faq.wordpress.com/2005/12/08/adsense/
http://wordpress.com/tos/(2) There are 3 ways to contact staff: support button on the top right hand corner of any admin side blog page; support buttons at the top and bottom of the forum that link to http://wordpress.com/contact-support/ and, email support[at]wordpress[dot]com
(3) There is no useful purpose served by volunteers posting to such threads after the links have been provided. Mark will contact you either sooner or later and no amount of posting to the forum will expedite his response.
(4) If you had invested as much time and energy into retrieving your data from the Google cache as you have devoted to posting to this forum, then you would already have all the data that you lost back.

I have already contacted the support many times with no results.
I have already read the TOS and the other links about WordPress rules.
Google cache does not contain my deleted blog and I cannot retrieve my data from there.Thank you for your help anyway.
