My blog has been suspended – someone please help

  • Unknown's avatar

    I created my blog – porcupyn.wordpress.com – nearly a decade ago and have been posting on it on and off since then. As you can imagine, it contains a large portion of my life/history which I would be very upset about losing.

    So I was taken aback when – without any prior warning – my account was suspended. In addition, because of the suspension, I was unable to write on this forum to request help either. It is a travesty of justice that in the land of the free where free speech is a right, one is judged guilty without being given a chance to explain himself/herself. The least that the wordpress czars could’ve done is sent me a heads up and/or deleted the portion of my blog that they found to be against the rules.

    I have sent three-four entreaties to them from the blog dashboard but am yet to hear back from them. In those requests, I have specified my e-mail address in the unlikely event that they e-mailed the e-mail address on file, which has been shut down because it was dormant.

    These matters are not discussed on the public forums and we Volunteers have been told not to enter dialog about suspended blogs in forum threads. Here’s what gets a blog suspended:
    http://wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/advertising/
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/affiliate-links/
    http://en.wordpress.com/tos/

    Mistakes can be made but as a policy, we are asked to refrain from discussing Terms of Service issues on these public forums. You have a warning notice with a link — please click that link as it works at all times (even when the regular contact form is closed). There’s also a contact form you can use to reach Terms of Service Staff at the bottom of this page http://en.support.wordpress.com/suspended-blogs/

    Thanks – I appreciate your response.

    I already submitted that form a couple of times. Would you be able to give me an idea as to how long it might be before I get a reply as to what I did wrong? I have absolutely no issue deleting content that contravenes the rules so it is not that big a deal. But I do want my blog back!! :-(

    As timethief explained, we cannot address Terms of Service issues here. If you have submitted an appeal via the suspended blogs link she provided, someone should be in touch soon.
