Just Put My Weight Loss Blog Up Today and It’s Already Suspended?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I guess I need to be more patient and wait for the support team to get back from vacation. But I thought I would just send a couple words out to see if anyone has any advise to help my situation. This being a new year and all I put together a blog about my road to weight loss. I have a weight loss competition going on with a friend and being new to blogging thought that I would blog about this topic. It would be an easy way for me to document my journey. I could feel accountable and have more of a reason to journal my progress. It could be fun getting others wanting to lose weight involved potentially helping them with their weight loss too. I wrote a journal type post and put one link from an article I found online that I thought was a good resource article. Which now I think they might have thought I was affiliated, however AM IN NO AFFILIATION. I’m just a regular person wanting to blog about my personal weight loss journey. I took off the link and wrote back this link that was posted with my blog suspension that I thought that they might have made a wrong choice about suspending my new blog. I’m just disappointed that I spent my whole evening on what I thought was something that was going to be used as a tool for me to gauge my own progress. Just to shortly have my information blocked.

    Does this affect my entire account?

    I’m really just looking for a what happens next type of information. This just stinks. I didn’t mean to do anything wrong. I’m not trying to make any money or advertise anything. I will not put on any article reference links to my site. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

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

    The blog linked to your name is not suspended –

    however you need to deal with the Terms of Service group with the contact information they gave you with the suspension notice – suspensions are never discussed in the Forum nor can any of the unpaid volunteers reverse the suspension of your blog –

    I appreciate both your comments so quickly. This is all new to me. I didn’t know what else I could do in the meantime so I just figured I’d write in the forum to see what others had to say. I did use the contact link I received on the blog dashboard tonight and wrote them an email explaining. Also appreciate the reference links. Hopefully they will get back to me soon. Thanks Again!

    It actually says the blog was deactivated…is that the same thing as being suspended? Thinking it is but just wanted to double check.
