Staff do monitor theses forums, but I would suggest your friend contact staff when they open this morning at 9am PDT and give them the information as well. http://wordpress.com/contact-support -
http://successfulsoftware.wordpress.com has been restored. Sorry about that.
thesacredpath’s advice, as usual, is good. Thank you.

I did email support yesterday, but was still awaiting a response. The blog is now back up. Phew. It is rather heartstopping to see all your hard work just disappear in the blink of an eye like that.
-
I’m glad you’re back up and running. There seems to still be a gremlin or two lurking about but staff will get them all rounded up. Of course, when it comes to computers and the internet, gremlins are a given.

my blog http://nishugoyal.wordpress.com got suspended a month back for no obvious reasons . There was no advertising or viral links present. Can it be restored now?
-
You need to contact staff during office hours for the quickest response. You’re not in a hurry if you’ve waited a month to report this, I’m thinking. Support will re-open in eight hours.
It would appear from the Google Cache of this post:

I’m not seeing any original content in that post; you used only the words of the Guardian. This is illegal and definitely against the Terms of Service.

I had to get another user name just to post. My account is suspended. 2 or my 3 blogs are visible but inaccessible. One was shut down for TOS violation. I can’t imagine how this is true. My blog is not in violation. It’s a discussion about Fibromyalgia, anxiety/panic and agoraphobia. There’s never been questionable content. Help bring back http://cagedshadow.wordpress.com and the associated account is the problem
-
OK now it seems everything is OK. Is this going to happen again without warning? Scary to think this info will be lost if I turn my back for just one moment.
-
Ooops forgot. This is me the same person that had to use a new account to post (Just Deb)
-
Yes, if you are judged to have violated the terms of service your account will again be suspended without warning.
Also: please don’t post the same issue to three or four threads. That makes it take longer to help you. Just pick one and post to that.
-
Sorry I’ve never had to use these forums before. I won’t post any more and I wasn’t in violation of TOS that’s why I was looking for help
-
It’s a good idea to make your own regular backups whatever host you’re with, that way nobody can hold your data to ransom.

I agree with wank and I have just written on this subject.

I got a TOS violation notice too. It looks like I can get to it. The only thing I can think of is that I used a recipe from Eating Well but I attributed it to them and linked to it. If that’s a mistake (and it may well be), I’ll remove it.

@redhead
Only staff can answer that question for you. Contact them at: http://wordpress.com/contact-support/ and include your blog URL, username and email address. -
I too got a TOS warning from WordPress. I don’t understand why. From what I could see I am not violating any of the TOS. At least I know I’m not the only one. I have since emailed them and asked them why. Hopefully they will respond soon.
