  Can my blog be unfrozen please. Apparently, this happens when I try to post an item from Google reader. Does that violate the terms of service? Or am I out of space. I’ll upgrade if need be.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Yes, posting copyrighted material is a violation not only of the Terms of Service but of the law.

  You don’t need any upgrades. You need to contact staff via the link they left on that page and they will tell you how to get your blog unlocked.

  Hi There!
  Your best bet is to contact staff directly by clicking the link staff provided when staff sent the notice to your dashboard if you don’t see such link you can use the link I provided to contact staff. The contact form can be found at the bottom of the page by using the link I provided for you. The forum volunteers have no say so how the blog suspension plays out so posting in the forums will not speed up the process nor alert staff any faster…

  Please contact staff directly with the link I provided and re-frame from starting any more threads on the subject blog suspension or TOS Violations …

  [Closing thread due to forum policy]
